Applied project vertical cross sectioncase rotation rate rad

Some examples of computational fluid dynamics using commercial CFD solvers

Many commercial/industrial CFD solvers are available on the market.

[Research project, 2015, X. Ying (Huang group)]

• 3-D geometric data from Google Earth
• Keep 23 tallest buildings for flow simulation

Detail around the building - wind speed

[Applied CFD course project, Fall 2015, A. Aguinaga (Instructor: HP Huang)]

Leak of methane from an underground reservior into open air

High wind condition (U = 0.5 m/s)
