Speech title: Using Computational Fluid Dynamics in the Processing Engineering

Abstract: 

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) offers a powerful design and investigative tool to process engineers. Its application would assist in a better understanding of the complex physical mechanisms that govern the thermal, physical, and rheological properties of different materials.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a numerical technique, used for the solution of the equations governing fluid flow and heat transfer problems inside a defined flow. CFD has wide applications in the areas of fluid and heat transfer within the aerospace and nuclear industries backed by the availability of powerful supercomputers. CFD has also expanded into other industries such as chemical and petrochemical, food industry, etc. 

The development of CFD packages came from the need to create computer programs of general nature capable of solving these equations for a wide range of geometry and boundary conditions. CFD works by dividing the physical environment of interest into a two or three-dimensional grid or mesh. It contains a number of discrete cells and can evaluate fluid velocities, temperature, and pressure inside every one of the cells where fluid flows. This is done by the simultaneous solution of the equations describing fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer.

The use of CFD techniques to solve a fluid flow and heat transfer problem is split into three discrete parts: problem definition, solution, and presentation of results. In general, different computer programs that form the CFD code must undertake each of the three tasks.
