Optimisation of Complex Geometry High-Rise Buildings based on Wind Load Analysis

Wind analysis for the structure of buildings is a challenging process. The increasing strength and frequency of wind events due to climate change only add higher demands. In addition, high-rise buildings are growing in number and include many of unconventional shape. Current methods used in practice for calculating structural wind response...

A Conjugate Heat Transfer Method Applied to Turbomachinery

A Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) analysis allows the calculation of the heat transfer and temperature of a body placed in a fluid. The CHT analysis takes into account both the conduction in the solid and the convection in the fluid. Present paper describes a CHT method that uses two separate solvers: one CFD solver dedicated to the flow...
