Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a simulation tool, which uses powerful computer and applied mathematics to model fluid flow situations for the prediction of heat, mass and momentum transfer and optimal design in industrial processes. It is only in recent years that CFD has been applied in the food processing industry. This paper reviews the application of CFD in food processing industries...

This paper describes the technology for coupling CFD and FEM computations and for selecting the appropriate design waves. One core component for linking CFD and FEM is a repository for the ship hydrodynamic results (SHR). Another important component is an algorithm which maps CFD pressures to FEM nodal loads where CFD and FEM meshes need not coincide. Both the exchange file and the mapping algo...

CFD requires validation for complicated flow problems involving complex physics such as turbulence. Wind tunnels are still the most commonly used validation tools for CFD including physical modelling although some limited use of reliable DNS data base for simple geometries is recently becoming possible. One can observe the trend that a higher and higher demand on the accuracy of the wind tunnel...

Increasing demand on the performance of Subsea Production Systems (SPS) suggests a need for more detailed investigation of fluid behavior taking place in subsea equipment. Complete CFD cool down analyses of subsea equipment are very time demanding. The objective of this paper is to investigate a Locked CFD approach, which enables significant reduction of the computational time and at the same t...

Considerable progress in development and application of CFD for aeroengine internal flow systems has been made in recent years. CFD is regularly used in industry for assessment of air systems, and the performance of CFD for basic axisymmetric rotor/rotor and stator/rotor disc cavities with radial throughflow is largely understood and documented. Incorporation of three dimensional (3D) geometric...

I read this book by Peyret and Taylor with pleasure. At last there is an introductory book on computational fluid dynamics that is intelligent, fairly wellinformed, and reasonably up-to-date. Its perspective is not, however, fully consistent with a mathematician's point of view. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the process of solving problems in fluid dynamics numericallyon a computer. It ...

PURPOSE Recently, image-based computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations have been proposed to investigate the local hemodynamics inside human cerebral aneurysms. It was suggested that the knowledge of the computed three-dimensional flow fields can be used to assist clinical risk assessment and treatment decision making. Therefore, it was desired to know the reliability of CFD for cerebral b...

A graphical framework is used for statistical analysis of the results from an extensive Nversion test of a collection of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics codes. The solutions were obtained by code developers and users from North America, Europe, Asia, and South America using both common and custom grid sequencees as well as multiple turbulence models for the June 201...

In this article the subject fluid structure interaction is approached using a real and a computational model. Different scenarios are tested in a laboratory facility, where analysis of transient phenomena are created. Since it’s a fluid-structure elastic phenomenon, it’s important to study the phenomenon unsteady flow induced that reflects a structural vibration, developed when the steady-state...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a popular tool in the water industry for assessing ultraviolet (UV) reactor performance. However, due to the size of open-channel-type UV reactor systems, the CFD model requires significant computational time. Thus, most evaluations have been conducted using very simplified models. In order to ensure the reliability of this simplified CFD model, precise num...
