CFD simulations of offshore oil and gas platforms are used to predict the maximum wind loads acting on the structure of the platform topsides (the upper half of the platform, above sea level and ...

Designers increasingly run their own flow and heat-transfer simulations rather than sending them out to analysts. Designers increasingly run their own flow and heat-transfer simulations rather than ...

To understand 1D-3D CFD and 3D-1D CFD, we have reviewed the history of attempts at both loose and close coupling of 1D and 3D CFD codes, the motivations of engineers who did it, and the benefits to be ...
