The Workshop
The workshop is targeted at the young faculty members and research scholars, who
desire to join teaching in future. With the introduction of new undergraduate and
postgraduate programs in mechanical, civil, chemical and aerospace engineering in
various institutes in India, there is a need to train faculty members who teach fluid
mechanics and allied subjects so that they can adopt right approach while teaching
these subjects and also enable them to inculcate the research interest at both UG and
PG levels. The workshop offers a methodical approach to build an insight into research
in fluid mechanics.

National Society of Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power (NSFMFP)
The National Society of Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power (NSFMFP) was established
in 1973 as a professional society to promote all activities in the field of Fluid
Mechanics and Fluid Power in India. Under the aegis of the society, national
conference on Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power is organized every year since 1969 at
different venues in India with participation from academia, R&D sectors and
industries. The society has so far organized 44 such conferences along with six
international conferences. The society aims to disseminate and propagate
knowledge in the fields of fluid mechanics in the country and to play a lead role in
training the new teachers engaged in teaching of fluid mechanics and allied subjects.
PSG College of Technology
PSG College of Technology, started in year 1951 by PSG & Son’s Charities Trust, is
an AICTE approved autonomous institution affiliated to Anna University, Chennai
and ISO 9001 certified. Most of the programmes have been accredited by National
Board of Accreditation (NBA). PSG College of Technology believes in creating and
disseminating knowledge and skills in core and frontier disciplines through
innovative educational programmes, industrial training, research &consultancy and
developing a new cadre of professionals with a high level of competence, deep
sense of social commitment and ethics. PSG College of Technology has
collaborative arrangements with industries, research laboratories and foreign
universities in various areas of joint academic programmes, research and training.
Department of Mechanical Engineering
The department is one of the first few that was started during the inception of the
college in the year 1951.New courses were introduced subsequently and the
existing ones were restructured to reflect the state of the art.All the laboratories in
the department are approved for carrying out research leading to Ph.D. degree
(Full time and Part time) / M.S (by research) degree by Anna University, Chennai.
The department offers consultancy in design, manufacturing and testing of
products as per BIS specifications. Right from the start, thrust has been given to
practical and industry oriented research and development. This has ensured
continuous interaction with industry.
