Predesign for flow visualizer. Project: Flow Graphics, Work package: Visualizer for 3D flow-calculation results

The results of calculations of two- and three-dimensional flows on blocked grid domains consist of vast data collections with a simple, regular structure. The inspection of these results can only be done efficiently by graphical means, and by exploiting the regular structure of the data. There is a large similarity between the format of the...

Useful lifetime prediction software for plane semi-cracks in 3-D solid configurations

Computer programs are described to be used for fracture control purposes. Crack growth lifetimes can be predicted for plane cracks in 3-D structures. Values for stress intensity (K-) distributions at crack fronts are derived from data being available from literature for a restricted number of simple configurations. For arbitrary configurations...

Axisymmetric liquid sloshing under low-g conditions: numerical simulations method (-reference manual-)

A mathematical model is presented for the description of axisymmetric three-dimensional transient flow of a viscous liquid in a partially filled cylindrical container under low gravity conditions. The mathematical model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations with either no-slip condition at the solid boundaries, and with the continuity of...
