Purnode, Owens Corning Science & Technology Center, Ohio, U.S.A. The glass industry annually produces 21 million tons of consumer goods valued at $28 billion. Energy costs for this volume of goods account for approximately 15 percent of production costs. Theoretically, glassmaking requires about 2.2 million BTUs of http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=08/07/18/126223&rdf=1 OpenCFD are pleased to announce a major, new release of version 1.5 of their OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox.
