Application: Surface Skew Effects on Biofilms in Wastewater Treatment

Posted Fri October 11, 2019 @04:26PM

The sensitivity of bacteria to physical, chemical and environmental disturbances presents a challenge to maintaining microbial nitrification in wastewater treatment plants.

Researchers at the University of New Mexico conducted a series of experiments to understand the effects of surface roughness on annular nitrifying biofilm reactors (Roveto et al., 2019). Their team used FLOW-3D to find possible explanations for their experimental observations.

Application: CFD Simulation Improves Well Capping Methodology

Posted Thu September 26, 2019 @10:34AM

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

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.
