Title
Is Simulation Relevant to India?
Abstract: The role of simulation in the Indian context in general and to engineers in particular will be outlined. The difference between Sequential Modular and Equation Oriented simulation strategies will be illustrated. The ongoing work to build an equation oriented chemical process simulator on top of a state of the art modelling and simulation environment Open Modelica will be explained. Efforts undertaken to raise the levels of engineering education through crowdsourcing of content will be summarised: DWSIM and OpenModelica (Chemical) eSim (Electrical) OpenFOAM (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Scilab Python and R. The importance of a creation device to Indian students as opposed to consumption devices will be pointed out.Bio-sketch: Prof. Kannan Moudgalya received B.Tech degree in chemical engineering from IIT Madras. He received a Master of Electrical Engineering degree and a Ph.D degree for a thesis in chemical engineering both from Rice University. He has been a faculty member at IIT Bombay for close to 30 years. He works in the area of modelling simulation and control. He believes that it is possible to raise the levels of education in the country through Information and Communication Technologies. He has worked on Spoken Tutorial FOSSEE and Aakash projects funded by MHRD Govt. of India. He was nominated by Hindustan Times for the "HT for Mumbai" award.
Compulsory for CL702 and CL704 students.
