Inside a Reactor You Can’t Open: CFD Simulation for Trickle-Bed Chemical Reactors Chemical reactors are among the most process-critical pieces of equipment in the chemical industry and among the least observable. Conditions inside an operating trickle-bed reactor routinely reach temperatures of 160°C or more, with pressures in some configurations exceeding 50 bar. The catalyst bed […]

Where Should You Build Your Wind Farm? CFD Simulation Has the Answer. Choosing the wrong location for a wind turbine can mean years of underperformance, increased mechanical stress, and costly maintenance. Wind energy developers have long relied on weather station data and general meteorological models to make these decisions. But real terrain is complex as […]

COA-CFD Mid Term Consortium Review The COA-CFD project has reached its mid-term review, marking significant progress in making computational fluid dynamics (CFD) more accessible to industries, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). By developing cloud-based, on-demand CFD tools, the project is bridging the gap for companies that traditionally lack the resources for such advanced simulations. […]

Short Introduction article about the hybrid solvers phenomenon and how we managed to make use of them

In a significant stride towards fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of technology, we are thrilled to announce the addition of several esteemed firms to our consortium. This expansion marks a new chapter in our journey, one that promises to bring fresh perspectives, groundbreaking ideas, and a shared commitment to excellence in the fields of […]

The 1st official meeting of the COA-CFD consortium took place on the 16th of January. Exciting topics were discussed and sitting together – even digitally – motivated us even more to continue working on our goals.
