Pattern of Final Exam

1. There are a total of 60 questions divided into Sections A to F.  Questions in Sections A and B are generic questions covering the entire course material.  Sections C to F are thematic.  

2. All questions are of objective type.  Section A has questions that have ONLY ONE correct answer.  Questions in Section B have TWO correct answers each.  Questions in Sections C to F have ONLY ONE correct answer. 

3. Each correct answer is worth one mark.  The credit for the correct answer is given only when ONLY THE CORRECT answer is identified in that question. Therefore in Sections A, C, D, E and F, only one answer should be entered.  For questions in Section B, you will get TWO marks if you identify both the correct answers and only these two.  Partial mark can be given only if only correct answers are identified.  For example, if (b) and (d) are the correct answers for a question, then you will get two marks if you identify both (b) and (d) as the correct answers and do not tick any other option. If you identify only (b) or only (d) as the correct answer, you will get ONE mark.  If you identify either (a) or (c) as the correct answer, you will not get any marks irrespective of how many correct answers you identified correctly. Thus, the credit for the entire question is lost if you choose an incorrect answer.  

4. The total marks are 75.  Section A is worth 30 marks and Section B is worth 20 marks.  Sections C to E account for 5 marks each, and Section F worth for 10 marks

Section A:General questions MCQ (single correct answer)
Section B:General questions MSQ (two correct answers)
Sections C-F: Thematic questions

Section C:Solution of Navier-Stokes Equations MCQ (single correct answer)
Section D:Solution of Linear Algebraic Equations MCQ (single correct answer)
Section E:Turbulence Modelling MCQ (single correct answer)
Section F:Reacting Flows MCQ (single correct answer)

CFD-Extension of Assignment 3 deadline and Release of Lecture notes

Dear Students,

As many students missed to do the Assignment 3, the deadline is extended for a single day. 

And released the lecture notes for module 2 both parts and for module 3 part A.



CFD: A formal update

Dear Students,


The assignments are multiple choice type of questions and have been designed to generate discussion and further thinking from the student.  These are substitutes for the classroom discussion that can take place in a regular course.  The correct answers for each assignment will be posted with comments on the answer.  If after seeing these answers with comments, there are still queries, then these can be posted in the forum for further clarification by fellow students or us.  


Please note that only eight best out of the 12 assignments will count towards the "sessionals" part of the final grade.  We will also ensure that at least 60% of the questions in the final end-semester will be repeats of the questions asked in the 12 assignments.  Therefore every serious student who follows the assignments has a good chance of doing well in the course.

Sreenivas Jayanti

Course instructor


PS: Please do not get disappointed if you did not receive any response to your query in the forum, we will be back to you soon. All the questions will be answered for sure
