Verification and Validation of CFD Simulations

Validation Process for CFD Simulations of Wind Around Buildings

Our study is based on a great number of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations to evaluate wind comfort at the pedestrian level. This article explains the method used to validate our CFD simulations carried out with the FLUENT software. This validation is based on a comparison between our simulated results and wind tunnel tests for three different building contexts: a single building, t...

Riser Modal Identification in CFD and Full-Scale Experiments

A systematic methodology is presented to obtain the vortex induced vibrational modes of a riser, based on data from CFD coupled to a long beam under tension and placed in sheared cross-flow; two profiles were tested: (a) linear, and (b) exponential. The modes we estimate are in fact nonlinear equilibria between the flow-induced excitation forces and the structural dynamics and are characterized...

On Aortic Blood Flow Simulations Scale-Resolved Image-Based CFD

This thesis focuses on modeling and simulation of the blood flow in the aorta, the largest artery in the human body. It is an accepted fact that abnormal biological and mechanical interactions between the blood flow and the vessel wall are involved in the genesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases. The transport of low-density lipoprotein into the wall has been linked to the initiation ...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
