This paper illustrates a step-by-step process on how to use "The Manual for Verification, Validation, and Reporting of Indoor Environment CFD analyses" developed by ASHRAE. The details of the manual are further explained through an example of indoor environment modeling (an office with mechanical displacement ventilation). The verification, validation, and reporting do not have to be documented...

Aerospace engineers have always been leading in the field of design using computational simulations. We design vehicles that go fast, fly high, and operate in extreme conditions. Because computation can help reduce expensive tests that physically simulate these extreme conditions, we benefit from computational simulation and design. This is why successful aerospace companies and agencies, such ...

Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis of the thermal flow in the combustion chamber of a solid waste incinerator provides crucial insight into the incinerator's performance. However, the interrelation of the gas flow with the burning waste has not been adequately treated in many CFD models. A strategy for a combined simulation of the waste combustion and the gas flow in the furnace is intr...

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...

Simulation of scour-pit formations under the bridge decks and around the bridge piers, due to sediment suspension and transport caused by flooding and pressure flow conditions, is of significant interest nowadays to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and hydraulic researchers. From CFD perspective, analysis of bridge under various flooding conditions and impact of the drag and lift forces on it...

This paper presents a prototype application of a collaborative computational steering system for interactive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. One or more visualization clients allow the user to interact with the concurrently running CFD simulation. To provide interactivity even for high resolution runs the parallel Lattice Boltzmann-based simulation kernel is performed on a high ...

ABSTRCT: Use CFD method to study of the air distribution of certain practical project. By using three-dimensional RNG k-εturbulent model, the air distribution of an underground main workshop in hydropower station with heat source at non-isothermal condition has been designed by means of numerical simulation. Solve the controlling equations by using the soft ware of computational fluid dynamics ...

Wind catchers are traditional natural ventilation systems attached to buildings in order to ventilate the indoor air. The most common type of wind catcher is four sided one which is capable to catch wind in all directions. CFD simulation is the perfect way to evaluate the wind catcher performance. The accuracy of CFD results is the issue of concern, so sensitivity analyses is crucial to find ou...

Numerous analyses on the mass transfer phenomena and hydrodynamics for the fluid adjacent to the membrane have been studied and visualized by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mathematical modeling and simulation. The availability of CFD simulation study to reveal the concentration polarization profile in the membrane channel, which considering hydrodynamics and membrane transport properties i...
