Today I was lucky to visit IIT Madras Ocean Engineering department and see the facilities.
I saw how a miniature model of the ship is tested with a towing tank and how test data regarding speed, torque, thrust, resistance etc are taken. Similar photos are shown in IIT Madras home page - See Photo gallery.
I went with Unni, my wife's cousin who is working as a design consultant for Ship manufaturing. They have outsourced to IIT-M measuring of these parameters. Its good to see IIT madaras in touch with Industry. Prof. Anantha Subramanian was running the show there with his intelligent and enthusiastic students. Unni's client also came along and he was also there.
The professors, Unni, his client (Raju) all were malayalees and importantly all are from CUSAT.
The professors who taught Unni and Raju were facing questions from them! Good.
