applications of CFD in the engineering world
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of engineering that deals with the numerical analysis and simulation of fluid flows. CFD has revolutionized the design and analysis of fluid systems by providing a cost-effective and efficient means of testing and optimizing designs before physical prototypes are built.

Courant number in CFD
The Courant number (CFL number) is a dimensionless quantity that relates the time step size to the spatial grid size in numerical simulations. It is commonly used in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to ensure numerical stability and accuracy of simulations.

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations involve a series of steps to model and analyze fluid flows using numerical methods. Here are the simplified steps involved in CFD simulations, in this video we talk about it.

Water channel flow visualization experiments are performed on a three-dimensional model of a small hill. This experiment was part of a series of measurements of the complex fluid flow around the hill using all available measurement techniques. The data will be used to improve basic understanding and CFD code development/validation.

Silent and efficient wind turbine 💨⚡️

It generates up to 2,000 Watts-hours of electricity—enough for a family home. It points in the direction where the wind blows, due to its triangular screw-shaped design

In Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), numerical methods are used to solve the governing equations of fluid motion. The choice of numerical method depends on the specific problem and the computational resources available. Three common numerical methods used in CFD are explicit, implicit, and semi-implicit methods.

Simulations can bring things to light that are usually hidden from our eyes. Even seemingly simple processes from everyday life, such as the convective cooling of a hot cup of tea, turn out to be quite complex upon closer inspection.

The selection of time step in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations is a critical step that affects the accuracy and stability of the simulation. The time step should be small enough to capture the important flow features, but not so small that the simulation becomes computationally expensive or unstable.

"The world is non-linear, it’s true.
But fear not, for here is a clue:
When signals are small, and stabl’ overall,
x' = Ax will do."

The bar for fidelity in physics simulation is constantly on the rise.

This simulation illustrates the application of electro-osmosis for use with micro-pumps. By creating a series of deep slots in a microchannel, and then applying a potential across the channel, fluid flow can be controlled in a MEMS-scale pump. By adjusting the applied potential, the flow rate can be controlled.

On the same topic of energy dissipation looking back this one is actually already quite old (2016 maybe? guessing I ran this on 16 cores at the time), but this reminds me that with today's relatively easy access to powerful and much faster workstations, CFD has a lot to offer on this topic. This video shows two flow rates, you can see the low flow rate condition might be a bit under-resolved, but with a modern machine, today this could easily be run as a high accuracy model. The interaction with entrained air is of course super-interesting.

🔥 Heat vs. Wave Equation 🌊

As the prototypical parabolic partial differential equation, the heat equation is among the most widely studied topics in pure mathematics. Its analysis is fundamental to the broader field of partial differential equations.

The wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation for describing waves—as they occur in classical physics—such as mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves) or light waves.

Recent observations of biologically generated turbulence in the ocean have led to conflicting conclusions regarding the significance of the contribution of animal swimming to ocean mixing. Measurements indicate elevated turbulent dissipation—comparable with levels caused by winds and tides—in the vicinity of large populations of planktonic animals swimming together

🌀 Fluidic Oscillator 🌀

A fluidic oscillator is a device with no moving parts that sprays a fluid from side to side. A nozzle funnels a fluid jet through a chamber with two feedback channels. When the jet sweeps close to one side of the chamber, part of the fluid is directed along the feedback channel and back toward the inlet. That flow feeds into a recirculating separation bubble in the middle of the chamber. As that bubble grows, it pushes the jet back toward the other feedback channel, continuing the cycle.

Francis Turbine CFD & FEA + FSI simulation. Standard Navier-Stokes equations. Visualization of particle-like flow to enhance the flow details. Imaginary particles enter the spiral approximately at the same time in two emissions. Nice to see how the runner swallows them gradually. Did you know that some particles stay in the turbine 5 times longer than the fastest ones?

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration achieved a successful prediction of jet noise as well as jet surface interaction noise.

Findings from these simulations have already resulted in new insights and additional experimental investigations of certain flow phenomena. Gaining confidence in the predictive capabilities of hybrid RANS/LES for jet noise is another step toward vehicle certification by analysis.

I am hoping to put together some lunch and learn materials this year for anyone interested in CFD for water infrastructure applications. Does anyone have any favorite CFD topics you'd like us to present on? Don't be shy please comment in or message me your topics related to water modeling, chances are CFD has a role to play that I'd love to explore. For instance in this video, the topic would be modeling scour and mitigation through roughness elements behind outfalls... you get the idea, all topics related to dams & spillway hydraulics, bridge hydraulics, scour, storm water, wastewater, coastal protection... produced water and any others... all welcome!
