The software handles arbitrarily complex gas-phase chemistry in flow simulations including combustion, exhaust gas after-treatment, and pollutant formation. It benefits from an easy-to-use graphical user-interface that handles preprocessing of thermodynamic and molecular databases, and of reaction mechanisms -- all in the most popular and internationally accepted data formats.

In Taking the Heat Out of Electronics, Desktop Engineering speaks with Sherman Ikemoto, Business Development Manager for Flomerics Inc., and Flomerics users on what Flotherm brings to electronics design.

The pace of development in the aerospace market is accelerating faster than ever, and the role of FEA and CFD is a major part of today's product development processes. One of the major challenges for all analysts in the aerospace industry is in producing solid, coherent analysis to best-practise guidelines in a manner which can show management the true value and benefit of FEA and CFD. This industry-focussed workshop will bring together analysts from across the aerospace industry to discuss, review and discover best-modelling practices, whilst highlighting the challenges that all users of analysis, and their management, should be considering.

In addition, there are numerous ease-of-use and reporting advancements. These features are outgrowths of Daat Research's on-going enhancement program for the world's easiest-to-use and most powerful thermal software.

Modeling of free surface flows for hydrodynamic applications can be accomplished using surface fitting methods for low to medium Froude numbers. But when the Froude number is larger, such as flows associated with steep and overturning waves, the fitting methods encounter difficulties.

The University of Tennessee SimCenter at Chattanooga has implemented a multiphase surface capturing approach to handle these higher Froude number cases, Fr > 0.4. This approach has been applied to several validation cases, including the R/V Athena research vessel shown in this article.

Harpoon meshes dirty CAD geometry with ease, however, there are occasions when a wrapper combined with the power of Harpoon would make meshing even easier. In particular, large holes in the CAD can cause problems when creating a mesh. The Harpoon Wrapper alleviates these problems and just like Harpoon, is extremely quick
