IIT Guwahati shared resources
Institute software
The Computer and Communication Centre lists Overleaf for collaborative scientific writing and MathType for equation editing. Check the institute software catalogue for licence dates and the campus software repository.
High-performance computing
IIT Guwahati operates the PARAM Ishan and PARAM Kamrupa supercomputers and a separate GPU computing facility. Students planning large simulations can discuss their requirements with the PI and use the IIT Guwahati HPC portal for account requests and system-specific support.
Planned experimental facilities
Hydrogen flow & safety bench
Controlled leak/jet experiments, mass-flow control, concentration sensing, ventilation studies and optical flow visualization.
Spray & combustion chamber
A constant-volume chamber with optical access and a single-injector mount: spray penetration and evaporation, spark and pre-chamber ignition, flame imaging and pressure-trace analysis across hydrogen, natural gas, methanol and ammonia.
Hydrogen & alternative-fuel engine
An instrumented single-cylinder engine for hydrogen direct injection and alternative-fuel operation, with in-cylinder pressure measurement, injection control and fuel-system conversion, as sponsored project scope allows.
Advanced diagnostics
High-speed imaging, Schlieren and shadowgraph systems, and pressure-based diagnostics as the laboratory matures.
Thermal safety
Bench-scale thermal-management and ignition/safety experiments for batteries and hybrid energy systems.
