Fluent Inc., world leader in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is offering a Lunch ’n Learn Seminar on Phase Change Modeling, Friday, October 17, from 10 a.m to 2 p.m., at the St. John’s Conference Center, in Plymouth, MI.
This seminar is an excellent opportunity for the researcher or engineer to see how applications of CFD modeling for Multiphase Flow and Heat Transfer are expanding into the realm of the Automotive Industry. The new features in the latest release FLUENT6.1 are enabling simulation including the hydrodynamic and thermal effects of various phase change phenomena such as: cavitation, condensation, evaporation, boiling, solidification and melting.
This presentation will demonstrate options for including phase change effects in CFD simulations including defogging and deicing, evaporators and condensers, water pumps, water jackets, fuel injectors, fuel filling systems, and more.
You should plan on attending this free seminar if you are a researcher or engineer involved in flow and heat transfer projects impacted by phase change, and are interested in creating a CFD analysis procedure capable of including phase change effects. Or, if you are an intermediate or advanced CFD software user interested in expanding your knowledge on the topic of phase change modeling with FLUENT 6.1
For more information and to register for this free seminar, visit the Fluent seminar website.

techman writes "AMD announced today that it plans to offer customers mid- and low-power AMD Opteron processors in the first half of 2004.
The mid- and low-power AMD Opteron processors, to be available at 55 watts and 30 watts, are designed to provide customers with a wide variety of solutions, extending into the AMD Opteron 100-, 200-, and 800- series product lines.
Enterprise computing systems that require power conservation, such as blade servers and storage devices, are gaining in popularity due to their scalability, ease of management and cost efficiency. In addition, mid- and low-power processors are a requirement for many server systems housed in large computing centers where power consumption and heat affects operating costs. The AMD Opteron processor’s high memory throughput and I/O bandwidth are ideal for products that must quickly move and manipulate large datasets, while consuming minimum power.
The AMD Opteron processor is the industry’s first 64-bit, x86 technology implementation (also known as AMD64). This technology preserves companies’ investments in 32-bit applications, while allowing a seamless transition to 64-bit computing as those companies require.
This growing customer base will now be able to recognize the new level of computing available with AMD64 technology.

| Improved Forecasting Helps Hurricane Experts See Into Storms' Futures |

As reported in this New York Times story, the US National Hurricane Center in Miami is using computer
simulation to predict the path and intensity of impending Hurricane Isabel.
Max Mayfield, the director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, said that the average error range on the 19 five-day forecasts generated since Sept. 6, when the center started issuing advisories on Hurricane Isabel, had errors that were typical of a two-day forecast in his early days at the agency, 30 years ago.
From 1964 until this year, three days was the longest ahead that federal hurricane forecasters dared venture.
In that time, meteorologists greatly improved their ability to predict the track of storms through vastly increased computing power, more realistic simulations of general global weather conditions and increased satellite and aircraft observation of storms' behavior and movements.
