CFD Applications

This page contains some examples of applications of the CFD algorithms and software on which I have worked. A brief description of the targets of each application is included, as well as some pictures of results that hopefully will help to clarify the type of problem being solved. These applications correspond to research and transfer of technology projects developed at CIMNE, in which I have been involved as responsible of the CFD part. These are not the newest projects or the most "impressive" ones, but those that I believe help to get an idea of the variety of applications our group has dealt with. All the files are power-point presentations.

European projects
