eLearning @ Cerfacs - Online Courses

CERFACS members collaborate to formation in multiple places (engineering schools and universities in Toulouse, Bordeaux and Paris, and specialized schools for PhDs and engineers such as Von Karmann Institut, College de Polytechnique, etc) and on many topics (numerical methods, high-performance computing, fortran, optimization, tutorial for Large Eddy Simulation of reacting flows, theoretical and numerical combustion, Computation Fluid Dynamics on massively parallel architectures, etc).
To ensure that students can have the best access to teaching materials (courses, hands-on exercices, links to various external sources, examples of exams),
CERFACS has gathered data on this website where you can download all data related to the course they are following. You are welcome to use this site.

Free Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and Smokeview

Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a large-eddy simulation (LES) code for low-speed flows, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires.
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The software solves numerically a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires.

Smokeview (SMV) is a visualization program used to display the output of FDS and CFAST simulations.

FDS+Evac is the evacuation simulation module for Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). The software is used to simulate the movement of people in evacuation situations. The evacuation simulations can be fully coupled with the fire simulations.

These tools are open source and freely available.

Django

Django is a free and open source web application framework, written in Python, which follows the model–view–controller architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established as a non-profit.

Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. Django emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of components, rapid development, and the principle of don't repeat yourself. Python is used throughout, even for settings, files, and data models. Django also provides an optional administrative create, read, update and delete interface that is generated dynamically through introspection and configured via admin models.

SU2 Compressible Flow Solver - open source

Stanford University Unstructured (SU2)
Computational analysis tools have revolutionized the way we design aerospace systems, but most established codes are proprietary, unavailable, or prohibitively expensive for many users. The SU2 team is changing this, making computational analysis and design freely available as open-source software and involving everyone in its creation and development.

iFEM, Finite Element, Matlab

iFEM is a MATLAB software package containing robust, efficient, and easy-following codes for the main building blocks of adaptive finite element methods on unstructured simplicial grids in both two and three dimensions. Besides the simplicity and readability, sparse matrixlization, an innovative programming style for MATLAB, is introduced to improve the efficiency. In this novel coding style, the sparse matrix and its operations are used extensively in the data structure and algorithms.

1st International Conference in Sports Science & Technology, Hotel Novotel Clarke Quay, Singapore 11 - 12 December 2014

1st International Conference in Sports Science & Technology
Hotel Novotel Clarke Quay, Singapore
11 - 12 December 2014
Annually, millions are spent on engineering and research into various aspects relating to sports. This has inadvertently improved sporting equipment and has resulted in safer practices and enhanced performance. Examples of engineering innovations are evident from sporting activities from motor racing, cycling to tennis and golf. In addition, technology has also been deployed to improve the experience of spectators through the use of wearable cameras and wireless sensors. Papers are invited on various aspects of engineer. The topics include, but not limited to, the following aspects:

Wearable Devices
Motion Capture
Real-time Performance Monitoring
Design and Analysis of Sporting Equipment
Performance Enhancing Clothing
Training Aids
Simulators
Robotics
