Application: CFD Simulation Improves Well Capping Methodology
Posted Thu September 26, 2019 @10:34AM
 Print version Email story Tweet story
Application Wild Well Control has developed a new approach to shallow-water well capping involving heavy pre-planning using CFD analysis of the well plume.

A partial list of complications for capping shallow-water well events includes large radius surface boils, and large clouds of dangerous or explosive gas/lower explosive limit (LEL) capable of igniting and creating potential fire hazards at or near the well site.

Events: Hybrid Conformal Meshing for Wind Farm CFD Applications
Posted Sun September 22, 2019 @07:20AM
 Print version Email story Tweet story
Announcements Pointwise has released the pre-recorded webinar, Hybrid Conformal Meshing for Wind Farm CFD Applications detailing techniques used to generate hybrid conformal meshes that span the entirety of a wind farm.

Advances in materials and aerodynamics are pushing towards longer and more complex blade designs enabling them to more effectively capture energy from the wind. In addition to their increasing size, their interaction with the surrounding environment expands the dynamic spatial and temporal range when modeling such systems.
