Last updated on: 25 April 2022


The FOSSEE Semester-long Internship 2021 commenced in March 2021. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions, the internship was conducted remotely. The interns opted to work full-time (8 hours per day) or part-time (6 hours per day) based on their availability and academic commitments for one semester. FOSSEE also collected a NOC from the students signed by the college which said that the college had no objection for the intern to participate in the internship for a semester. In this internship, many students from different institutes across India participated remotely and contributed to FOSSEE. Their detailed work report can be viewed below.

Internship Title: GUI Development for OpenFOAM, a computational fluid dynamics package

Internship Description: OpenFOAM is a tool used to solve fluid flow and heat transfer problems with applicability in Aerospace, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering fields. It is a C++ based coding tool and does not possess a good user interface. Currently, we at FOSSEE, have used a combination of open-source software Python scripts and Blender, to build a prototype GUI. We would like to build on this and extend the capability of this GUI.

Currently, the GUI is built so that it is able to solve 1 fluid-based problem (a tutorial). We would like to extend the GUI's capability to act as the front end through which users can solve 10 more problems that we have in our repository. Previously coded modules will be made available to enable the extension of this GUI.

The intern will work largely in the Python and Blender environments under the guidance of the Python and the OpenFOAM FOSSEE teams. Proficiency in Python is important, and familiarity with Blender is preferred.

No of interns: 2

Qualifications: BE/B.tech, ME/M.Tech

Field of Engineering: Third-year/Final year student (B.E / B. Tech program) or BE/B.tech degree holders or ME/M.Tech from CS/ CSE stream
