COSAM — Center of Open-Source Software Applications in Fluid Mechanics
Center of Open-source Software
Applications in Fluid Mechanics
A research center at Bursa Technical University · Bursa, Türkiye
COSAM is a university research and training laboratory advancing open-source computational fluid dynamics—skills, pipelines, and tools from fundamentals to multiphysics.
Research Areas
Turbulent Flow Analysis
RANS and LES-based turbulence modeling for complex internal and external aerodynamics.
Multiphase Flow Modeling
DPM and DEM approaches for particle-laden flows, droplet–surface interaction, and coating processes.
Non-Newtonian Flow Modeling
Rheology-driven (both shear rate and temperature) simulations such as plastic injection molding, food flows (chocolate, mayonnaise, etc.), polymer processing, and viscous material flow.
Biological Flow Analysis
Hemodynamics and bio-inspired flow systems involving complex geometries and flow behavior.
Thermal Comfort & Thermal Management
Electronics cooling, heat transfer enhancement, and energy-efficient thermal system design.
Combustion Analysis
Combustion performance and emission characteristics.
Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI)
Coupled flow–deformation analyses by OpenFOAM and FEniCS using preCICE as connector, for flexible and moving structures.
