By Richard D. LaRoche, University Program Manager Fluent recently held a North American Fluent Student Contest in which students were invited to submit a paper outlining their most innovative use of Fluent software. Nearly twenty papers were submitted from undergraduate and graduate students on topics that ranged from ice drilling in Antarctica to the microscopic flow through a packed bed of spherical particles. Because it was so difficult to pick a single winner from the field of superb entries, two were chosen. For the best application, Dong-Hee Kim from West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV was the winner with her paper entitled “Prediction of Nucleation and Coagulation Modes in the Formation of Diesel Particulate Matter Using FLUENT.” For the best model implementation, Ugur Pasaogullari from Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA was chosen for his paper, “Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells Using FLUENT.” The winners received an expense-paid trip to the annual Fluent Users’ Group Meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire on June 11-12, where they presented their work. Check out the Fluent University website at http://www.university.fluent.com
to find the abstracts, papers, and resumes of the students who entered
this year’s contest and agreed to post their work. We hope to have
even more students participate in next year’s contest, so check back
in January for details about the 2003 Student Contest. The competition
is an excellent opportunity for all participants to have their work and
resumes appear on our web site.
