Competence Center for Energy - CCE/ITA

In connection with the inauguration of the new building to host the Computational Transport Phenomena Laboratory - LCFT/ITA, the Department of Energy - IEME/ITA is proud to announce the establishment of the Competence Center for Energy - CCE/ITA. The center will be headquartered in the new building for LCFT/ITA, which is to be opened during the second semester of 2014. The new Center will serve as a conduit for integrating and enabling Institute-wide programs in energy research, development and innovation. Involving the best and brightest ideas from academia and industry, CCE/ITA aims at creating innovative solutions to present and future energy challenges. Researchers, scholars and students interested to know more and to develop their energy-related research work at CCE/ITA are encouraged to send an e-mail to: energia@ita.br.

LCFT/ITA publications in top-ranked journals CAPES Qualis A1

In the last 15 years, from 2000 to 2014, students and researchers working at LCFT/ITA have published their work in top-ranked journals according to Webqualis CAPES. Nearly 80% of all journal articles from LCFT/ITA were published in vehicles of international recognition and ranked with the top grade A1. Such outstanding achievement reflects the high quality of work and dedication of all graduate students developing their research programs at the laboratory. New students wishing to develop their theses at LCFT/ITA are encouraged to send an email to: lcft@ita.br

New building to host LCFT/ITA near completion

A new building to host the Computational Transport Phenomena Laboratory - LCFT at ITA will be completed in the next quarter. A total of 10000 square feet of state-of-the-art office building will be devoted to Modeling and Simulation studies applied to Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer problems in an environment entirely covered with high-speed wireless communication. The laboratory provides a new research facility for Undergraduate and Graduate Students developing their Theses under the Department of Energy IEM-E of ITA. Visiting Faculty and Post-doc Research Associates are also expected to compose the research team at the new building. This new facility will provide office space for studies involving CFD, CHT, HPC, Turbulence Modeling, High-Fidelity Numerics, Advanced Heat Technology, Porous Media, Multiphase Flow, Heterogeneous Systems, Combustion Modeling, Advanced Energy Systems and Renewable Energy Sources. An auditorium attached to the building will host events such as Workshops, Seminars, Colloquia, among others. Students and Visitors interested in developing their research work at this new facility are encouraged to contact lcft@ita.br
