  • Steady-state and transient heat transfer
    Heat transfer
    Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase-change transfer...

     + thermal radiation
    Thermal radiation
    Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter. All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal radiation....

  • Stress analysis
    Stress analysis
    Stress analysis is an engineering discipline that determines the stress in materials and structures subjected to static or dynamic forces or loads. A stress analysis is required for the study and design of structures, e.g., tunnels, dams, mechanical parts, and structural frames among others, under...

  • Soft body dynamics
    Soft body dynamics
    Soft body dynamics is a field of computer graphics that focuses on visually realistic physical simulations of the motion and properties of deformable objects . The applications are mostly in video games and film. Unlike in simulation of rigid bodies, the shape of soft bodies can change, meaning...

  • Modal analysis
    Modal analysis
    Modal analysis is the study of the dynamic properties of structures under vibrational excitation.Modal analysis is the field of measuring and analysing the dynamic response of structures and or fluids when excited by an input...

  • Computational fluid dynamics
    Computational fluid dynamics
    Computational fluid dynamics, usually abbreviated as CFD, is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with...

     + heat transfer
    Heat transfer
    Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase-change transfer...

  • Electrostatics
    Electrostatics
    Electrostatics is the branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-moving electric charges....

  • Magnetostatics
    Magnetostatics
    Magnetostatics is the study of magnetic fields in systems where the currents are steady . It is the magnetic analogue of electrostatics, where the charges are stationary. The magnetization need not be static; the equations of magnetostatics can be used to predict fast magnetic switching events that...

  • Acoustics
    Acoustics
    Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician while someone working in the field of acoustics...

  • Coupled multiphysics
    Multiphysics
    Multiphysics treats simulations that involve multiple physical models or multiple simultaneous physical phenomena. For example, combining chemical kinetics and fluid mechanics or combining finite elements with molecular dynamics...

  • Shape optimization
    Shape optimization
    Shape optimization is part of the field of optimal control theory. The typical problem is to find the shape which is optimal in that it minimizes a certain cost functional while satisfying given constraints...


iRaCS – online computing

iRaCSinternet Range Computational System

iRaCS is a GRID-like network of independent computers which can solve individual problems.

iRaCS consists of three parts:
  1. Client – submits jobs
  2. Executor – executes submitted jobs
  3. Server – matches Client's and Executor's requests
