A new adaptive mesh refinement strategy that is based on a coupled feature-detection and error-estimation approach is developed. The overall goal is to apply the proper degree of refinement to key vortical features in aircraft and rotorcraft wakes. The refinement paradigm is based on a two-stage process wherein the vortical regions are initially identified for refinement using feature-detection, and then the appropriate resolution is determined by the local solution error. The feature-detection scheme uses a local normalization procedure that allows it to automatically identify regions for refinement with threshold values that are not dependent upon the convective scales of the problem. An error estimator, based on the Richardson Extrapolation method, then supplies the identified features with appropriate levels of refinement. The estimator is shown to be well-behaved for steady-state and time-accurate aerodynamic flows. The above strategy is implemented within the Helios code, which features a dual-mesh paradigm of unstructured grids in the near-body domain, and adaptive Cartesian grids in the off-body domain. A main objective of this work is to control the adaption process so that high fidelity wake resolution is obtained in the off-body domain. The approach is tested on several theoretical and practical vortex-dominated flow-fields in an attempt to resolve wingtip vortices and rotor wakes. Accuracy improvements to rotorcraft performance metrics and increased wake resolution are simultaneously documented.
Process intensification aims for increasing efficiency and sustainability of (bio-)chemical production processes. This book presents strategies for improving fluid separation such as reactive distillation, reactive absorption and membrane assisted separations. The authors discuss computer simulation, model development, methodological approaches for synthesis and the design and scale-up of final industrial processes.
In this comprehensive volume a treatment of grid generation, adaptive refinement, and redistribution techniques is developed together with supporting mathematical, algorithmic, and software concepts. Efficient solution strategies that exploit grid hierarchies are also described and analyzed. Emphasis is on the fundamental ideas, but the presentation includes practical guidelines for designing and implementing grid strategies.
The last decade has seen a dramatic increase of our abilities to solve numerically the governing equations of fluid mechanics. In design aerodynamics the classical potential-flow methods have been complemented by higher modelling-level methods. Euler solvers, and for special purposes, already Navier-Stokes solvers are in use. The authors of this book have been working on the solution of the Euler equations for quite some time. While the first two of us have worked mainly on algorithmic problems, the third has been concerned off and on with modelling and application problems of Euler methods. When we started to write this book we decided to put our own work at the center of it. This was done because we thought, and we leave this to the reader to decide, that our work has attained over the years enough substance in order to justify a book. The problem which we soon faced, was that the field still is moving at a fast pace, for instance because hyper sonic computation problems became more and more important.

ParCFD 2001, the thirteenth international conference on Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics took place in Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands, from May 21-23, 2001. The specialized, high-level ParCFD conferences are organized yearly on traveling locations all over the world. A strong back-up is given by the central organization located in the USA http://www.parcfd.org.These proceedings of ParCFD 2001 represent 70% of the oral lectures presented at the meeting. All published papers were subjected to a refereeing process, which resulted in a uniformly high quality.The papers cover not only the traditional areas of the ParCFD conferences, e.g. numerical schemes and algorithms, tools and environments, interdisciplinary topics, industrial applications, but, following local interests, also environmental and medical issues. These proceedings present an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in parallel computational fluid dynamics.
