Interaction effects on hydrodynamic characteristics of twin rudders

In order to reach the required manoeuvrability, inland vessels often use twin rudders, but the interaction effects are poorly understood. To achieve a proper configuration, this paper applies 2D RANS simulations to analyse the interaction effects on the twin-rudder hydrodynamics. Various twin-rudder configurations with different profiles and...

CFD modeling of chemical reactors: Single-Phase Complex Reactions and Fine-Particle Production

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a useful tool for modeling chemical reactors. However, because the design goals and expected outcomes are different than in "traditional'' CFD applications, chemical reactors require special attention to the treatment of chemical reactions, and heat and mass transfer. Here we provide an overview of the...
