A live demonstration will show the entire Overset Mesh CFD analysis process – including geometry preparation, meshing, solving and post-processing.

We will also explore the benefits of Overset Mesh through several application cases, including:

• Aircraft/spacecraft separation events
• Aircraft control surface performance
• Thrust reverser deployment
• Rotorcraft take-off and landing
• Amphibious vehicle water entry
• Vehicle flooding and water management
• Gearbox lubrication and losses
• Valves, dampers and pumps

Whether you work with air, ground or water-based vehicles, this webinar is for you. If you have ever used Overset Mesh before, you will be amazed at how the technology has advanced and how it can readily be used to increase modeling accuracy, reduce simulation time and improve designs.

Various processes in the life cycle of coal such as mining, pre-treatment, combustion and flue gas aftertreatment can be simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to explore and discover better designs, faster. This webcast will focus on specific ways by which CFD simulations can help increase the efficiency, reliability and longevity of coal-fired power plant systems while decreasing emissions.

Case studies and application examples pertaining to simulating coal-combustion in burners, including a comparison to experimental results from a well-known International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF) case will be provided.

Multiple factors – burner feed design (i.e., injectors and swirlers), operating conditions, the phasing of air for combustion and fuel flexibility – can all have a significant effect on flame characteristics, stable species concentrations, carbon conversion and pollutant outputs.These phenomena can be predicted with CFD by modeling the fluid dynamics, heat transfer and chemical kinetics in systems such as pulverized coal combustors and coal gasifiers.

Every year, billions of dollars worth of production are lost due to poor mixing. Analytical methods and experimental measurements answer many of these challenges. However, there are many unknowns that arise during:

• Scale-up
• New designs or multiple internals in equipment
• Special operating conditions or troubleshooting

These unknowns cannot be answered by the methods mentioned above, but can be resolved better using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation.

By attending this online webinar, you will learn about the basics of performing a mixing simulation analysis. A demonstration by a technical expert will exemplify the ease of setting up such a simulation. Best practices for simulation of single and multiphase systems will also be discussed. Examples will be given to establish how CFD simulation can bridge the gap in the understanding of the mixing process, thereby providing a more robust design.

Attendees will find this webinar useful because we present the benefits they can achieve by deploying CFD simulation in their workflow.

Engineers who are performing simulation of mixing will be able to gain insights into the ease of use and productivity benefits in using STAR-CCM+® to analyze complex systems.
