  4. Once you complet the project, prepare a case study project directory in a .zip format which has the following:
    1. Mesh file exported from CFD software like ANSYS/GMsh/Salome or created using OpenFOAM utilities.
    2. Simulated case directories using OpenFOAM 4.0/4.1/5.0 or foam-extend 3.1/4.0.
    3. Contours, plots and data files post-processed using ParaView and/or Python scripts.
    4. Minimum 3 page report of Case Study Project in pdf format specifying software details and dependencies on other codes/functions (if any). Click here to download sample Case Study Project Directory.
  5. Submit the proposal and case study project directory in the submission portal.

If not selected for FOSSEE Fellowship, your project/s will still be evaluated under CFD Case Study Project after submission.

Submission Portal:

1. You will receive an email with the subject line "FOSSEE Summer Fellowship 2018 - Submission".
