Finding useful and accurate techniques for presenting many fields of vector and scalar data is essential for developing good CFD visualization techniques. Recent work borrows ideas from artists to produce such visualizations. In this paper we present the results of a study to determine which classes of CFD problems benefit most from novel artistic methods. We found that people were able to make...

CFD simulation is used to predict 3D flow inside different configurations. Tunnel ventilation system is one example of CFD application field. Ventilation system is important in all kind of tunnels, road tunnel, rail tunnel or waterway tunnel. In all case CFD is able to predict chronic pollutant dispersion or accidental consequences. This paper presents the model of a waterway tunnel in France i...

Deposits can affect the in-furnace wall surface temperature in a Kraft recovery furnace. In CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) models of the Kraft recovery furnace, the wall surface temperature is frequently used as the heat-transfer boundary condition. Therefore, the effect of deposits must be taken into account in CFD models. In this work, CFD simulations of a Kraft recovery furnace were perf...

One important, often overlooked, issue for large, three dimensional time-dependent computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations is the input and output performance of the CFD solver, especially for large time-dependent simulations. The development of the CFD General Notation System (CGNS) has brought a standardized and robust data format to the CFD community, enabling the exchange of informat...

This study focuses on modelling and simulation of horizontal moving bed/grate wood chip combustor. A standalone finite volume based 2-D steady state Euler-Euler Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was developed for packed bed combustion. Packed bed combustion of a medium scale biomass combustor, which was retrofitted from wood log to wood chip feeding for Tea drying in Sri Lanka, was evalu...

This article aims to review the physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment of cystic fibrosis-related dyslipidemia (CFD). Bibliographic searches of the Medline and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases were made (year range, 1987-2007), and the most representative papers on the theme were selected. The characteristic symptoms of CFD are hypertriglyceridemia-with or wit...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is widely used by the scientific computing community to solve various fluid flow problems. High performance computing (HPC) enable faster CFD simulations with higher solution accuracies. Many CFD applications are run on multicore and multiprocessor platforms and are being increasingly ported to run on computational accelerators such as graphical processing uni...

The usage of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in noise prediction typically has been a two part process: accurately predicting the flow conditions in the near-field and then propagating the noise from the near-field to the observer. Due to the increase in computing power and the cost benefit when weighed against wind tunnel testing, the usage of CFD to estimate the local flow field of complex...

Recent enhancements to the development of CFD-based unsteady aerodynamic and aeroelastic reduced-order models (ROMs) are presented. These enhancements include the simultaneous application of structural modes as CFD input, static aeroelastic analysis using a ROM, and matched-point solutions using a ROM. The simultaneous application of structural modes as CFD input enables the computation of the ...
