VIT-AP organises meet on computational science
He explained that CFDs enable engineers to analyse and optimise aerodynamic performance, structural integrity and overall system effectiveness through advanced high performance computer simulations.
The insights into aerodynamic parameters such as lift, drag, stability and the response of the missile control surfaces are essential for trajectory accuracy and target precision.
Additionally, CFD is instrumental in evaluating thermal loads and structural stresses, thereby informing design refinements that improve performance and safety. Academic leader of University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Prof Fortune Massamba, joined the event virtually as guest of honour.
Vice-Chancellor of VIT-AP Prof SV Kota Reddy emphasised the contribution of mathematical modelling and CFDs in numerous real-life applications and utilities. He also presented VIT-AP's dedicated efforts for promoting industry partnership and plans on academic and research fronts to contribute to the national missions on Quantum Technologies and Green Hydrogen in line with AP Government's Swarnandhra vision 2047.
Dean of School of Advanced Sciences Prof S Srinivas extended a warm welcome to all attendees of the conference, setting a gracious tone for the event and wished for vibrant knowledge sharing sessions and new collaborations until 19 July 2025. Conference convener, Dr Prashanth Maroju elaborated on the vision and objectives of ICSMM-2025. Dr Sukanta Nayak proposed a vote of thanks for the inaugural ceremony.

AP charts green hydrogen future at summit
Vijayawada: India's push towards a sustainable energy future gained significant traction at the two-day Green Hydrogen Summit hosted by SRM-AP. The event, which concluded on Friday, brought together a distinguished assembly of policymakers, industry titans, and researchers, underscoring AP's unwavering commitment to sustainable energy development under the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. The second day of the summit on Saturday was marked by a series of engaging plenary sessions, an industry-academia conclave, and strategic discussions. Leaders from industry, science, academia, and policy engaged in robust dialogues covering technology innovations, infrastructural requirements, off-taker options, and critical funding and policy frameworks essential for India's green hydrogen journey. Key discussions highlighted the cost-effectiveness, broad industrial applications, and inherent sustainability of green hydrogen. A dedicated panel also delved into the promising scope of fuel cells. Dr R Vijay, director-ARCI, emphasised the potential of metallic bipolar plates and the urgent need for establishing electrolyser plants to facilitate large-scale hydrogen production. While the summit broadly championed the advantages of hydrogen production, it also served as a crucial forum for addressing the inherent challenges. Scientists and academicians presented the benefits, while industry leaders brought forth practical hurdles. Karthikeya A from APEDB notably pointed out the often-overlooked necessity of off-takers for the produced hydrogen, questioning whether sufficient market demand truly exists to consume the output. Discussions focused on cultivating a collaborative ecosystem. Dr Mallikarjun Bhavanari stressed the imperative for synergy between academia and industry, identifying infrastructure, material accessibility, and robust research and development (R&D) as pivotal factors in positioning India as a global hydrogen superpower. During the valedictory session, Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof Ch Satish Kumar offered a thought-provoking perspective. 'Let's not just celebrate green hydrogen progress; let's also talk about the difficulties in production, the health implications, and community-level engagement,' he urged. Prof D Narayana Rao, executive director-research, SRM Group of Institutions, said the summit was a success. He announced that under the directive of the Chief Minister, SRM-AP, in collaboration with NREDCAP, will host the Hydrogen Summit annually to review the progress made in Andhra Pradesh's green hydrogen journey.
