In the nuclear power industry, much effort is spent analyzing potential plant accidents. While the likelihood that any of these events would ever happen is extremely small, the analyses are an important component of ongoing research in the nuclear industry. These studies help engineers further reduce the risk of plant accidents. One way that engineers around the world participate in accident analysis is through international standard problems (ISP’s). An organizing body defines a standard problem, and researchers from various countries independently work to solve it. In one recent study, sponsored by the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) within the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the problem consisted of using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict boron mixing in the downcomer of a pressurized water reactor (PWR).

CFX will host a free web demonstration of how computational fluid dynamics software can be used to model combustion and radiation
on April 4 at 2 pm EST.
The seminar will provide an introduction to combustion and radiation modeling capabilities within CFX, including Eddy Dissipation modeling, custom reactions features, flamelet model capabilities, liquid fuel modeling, coal combustion modeling, P1 radiation modeling for participating medium, surface-to-surface radiation modeling for non-participating medium, and finite volume radiation modeling for the most general range of radiation problems.
A demonstration will be given which includes the entire process of setting-up, running and analyzing a small industrial furnace. This will include:
import of IGES geometry
specification of fluid domain and relevant physics
application of boundary conditions
application of initial conditions
setting solver parameters
generating the unstructured mesh
running the solver
post-processing the results
Finally, a questions and discussion session will be held which will allow participants to better understand how CFX can solve their specific problems. All that is required is Internet access and a telephone.
Sorry, this web demonstration is only available in North America.
To register, visit the seminar web site or contact Chris Reeves at info@cfx.aeat.com.

TRANSOFT International announces the release of Version 4.2 of the CFD software, fluidyn-NS.
This version includes, in addition to the traditional CFD modules, the simulation of
structural/thermal/acoustic interaction with flows.
The performance, speed and user-friendly features have been enhanced in Fluidyn-NS version 4.2:
- The addition of new solvers, thereby completing the range of finite-volume solvers available in fluidyn-NS. Thus the solution accuracy and speed are optimised for all kinds of flow, structural, heat transfer and acoustic interactions.
- The parallelization of the existing solvers. Currently, fluidyn-NS can run on PC clusters (LINUX systems) as well as on multiprocessing workstations (UNIX).
- The integration of fluidyn-NS, fluidyn-FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction), fluidyn-CHT (Conjugate Heat Transfer) and fluidyn-CAF (Fluid-Acoustic Coupling) solvers under one single interface.
For more information, all contact addresses can be found on : http://www.fluidyn.com

Cadence
has an article for PC buyers entitled The Workstation You Deserve. The article gives a brief, but decent introduction to the standards you should look for when purchasing an engineering workstation PC.
Buying computer hardware can be confusing--not only do you need to worry about performance and price, but you also want assurance that it will work well with your current system, as well as with tomorrow's. Now's the time to learn how to shop.
