As observações geradas em estudos sobre instalações de suínos têm demonstrado que o desempenho térmico das instalações comumente utilizadas pelos produtores vem apresentando um quadro de desconforto térmico na fase da maternidade, devido às adaptações construtivas feitas com a finalidade de atender tanto as necessidades da matriz quanto dos leitões. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi utilizar a ferramenta de fluidodinâmica computacional (CFD) para realizar o mapeamento do microambiente de duas instalações de suínos, visando o bem-estar dos animais. As simulações foram obtidas em uma maternidade da Fazenda Experimental Lageado, UNESP, Botucatu/SP e de uma granja comercial localizada em Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo/SP. Para as simulações utilizou-se o software Autodesk® CFD Simulation juntamente com o AutoCAD 3D, para desenho das instalações. As condições de conforto térmico foram analisadas por meio da aplicação do índice de voto médio estimado – PMV. Na instalação comercial simulada observou-se que as aberturas laterais não são suficientes para manter uma condição de conforto térmico, segundo o índice PMV. Com o uso da fluidodinâmica computacional foi possível modificar o ambiente mediante a elevação do seu fluxo de ar, o que demonstrou ser uma solução na diminuição da temperatura do ar e alcance de uma condição de conforto térmico.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Conforto térmico, bem-estar de suínos, fluidodinâmica computacional, CFD, simuladores. FLUIDODYNAMICS COMPUTATIONAL USED FOR THE MAPPING OF THERMAL CONDITIONS IN INSTALLATION OF SWINE MATERNITIESABSTRACT: Studies have shown that the thermal performance of facilities commonly used by producers has presented an environmental discomfort picture in the maternity phase due to constructive adjustments made in order to meet needs of both piglets and sow. Therefore, this work aimed to use the computational fluid dynamic tool for mapping the microclimate of two facilities, which purpose of improving the animal welfare. The simulations were conducted at experimental farm “Lageado”, UNESP, Botucatu/SP and a commercial facility, located in Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo/SP. For simulations were used the Autodesk® CFD Simulation software along with AutoCAD 3D (facilities design). Thermal comfort conditions were analyzed by means of predicted mean vote – PMV. In simulated commercial facility was observed that side vents are not sufficient to establish a thermal comfort condition, according to PMV. With computational fluid dynamic was possible to change the environment through air flow increase, showing to be a solution in decrease of air temperature and reach of thermal comfort condition.KEYWORDS: Thermal comfort, swine welfare, computational fluid dynamic, CFD, simulators.

Final Design

Performance of aerosol sampling inlet for different diffuser outlet angle is compared with its velocity and pressure distribution. To get information on velocity and pressure distribution for different outlet angle, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation can be used. At the same time, it can achieve high efficiency of aerosol sampling and minimize disturbance to the aircraft which carries the system. The final design for the sampling inlet is determined to be a design with diffuser outlet angle of 15 degree. This design was selected to keep stable for velocity and pressure, and have a less length.

Penelitian Analisis Perbedaan Mesh berbasis Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) ini dilakukan Pada Boiler PLTGU Tanjung Priok. Boiler atau reboiler dalam sistem PLTGU dikategorikan sebagai alat penukar kalor karena perpindahan panasnya dilakukan tanpa kontak langsung antara media pemanas dengan media yang dipanaskan. Fluida kerja pada boiler PLTGU Tanjung Priok berupa gas methane dan air. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat jumlah pembagian elemen terhadap hasil simulasi dengan menggunakan dua model Studi konvergensi grid yaitu dengan grid kasar, dan yang paling optimal melalui hasil simulasi CFD. Metode yang digunakan mulai dari mendesain geometri boiler sesuai kondisi di lapangan menginput initial conditions dan  boundry conditions. Data hasil penelitian yang sudah di lakukan pada simulasi boiler menunjukkan bahwa baik temperatur, tekanan dan kecepatan aliran memiliki nilai yang sama besar dan tidak di pengaruhi oleh pembagian elemen yang di lakukan pada saat proses meshing dari elemen yang paling kasar dengan jumlah total sebanyak 203.363 sampai pada tahap  proses meshing dengan elemen teroptimal yang berjumlah sebanyak 1.491.428 berdasarkan hal tersebut maka proses simulasi yang dilakukan menjadi lebih efisien karena proses perhitungan data dari elemen yang lebih sedikit mendapatkan hasil yang sama dengan elemen yang lebih banyak. The research on Mesh Difference Analysis based on Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) was conducted at Tanjung Priok PLTGU Boiler. Boilers or reboilers in PLTGU systems are categorized as heat exchangers because the heat transfer is done without direct contact between the heating media and the heated media. The working fluid in the Tanjung Priok gas power plant boiler is in the form of methane gas and water. This study aims to look at the number of elements divided against the simulation results by using two grid convergence study models, namely with a coarse grid, and the most optimal through CFD simulation results. The method used starts from designing the boiler geometry according to the field conditions, inputting initial conditions and boundry conditions. Data from research that has been done on boiler simulations shows that both temperature, pressure and flow velocity have the same value and are not affected by the division of elements carried out during the meshing process of the most coarse elements with a total number of 203.363 up to the meshing process stage with the optimum elements totaling 1,491,428 based on this, the simulation process carried out becomes more efficient because the process of calculating data from fewer elements gets the same results with more elements.

The growth of liquefied natural gas (LNG)’s importance for curbing greenhouse gas emissions has increased the interest in understanding LNG’s risks, particularly regarding small-diameter leaks (<25 mm). Recently, INERIS performed a series of pressurized LNG release experiments for orifice sizes of up to 9 mm. Based on INERIS findings and the Isenthalpic Homogeneous Equilibrium Model (HEM), this paper created a leak model for flashing LNG leak. The leak model consists of nine equations and quantifies leak parameters for risk assessment. One potential use of this leak model is providing an equivalent leak boundary condition for computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation to predict gas dispersion. Using the leak model as input, FLACS gas dispersion simulation was carried out for one INERIS experiment leak case. Compared to TR56, the Singapore safety guideline for LNG bunkering, the dispersion result does not contradict the expected plume reach. Further validation with risk analysis tools and actual experiments is needed to confirm that the leak model is fit for use.

The pressure drop predictions across a bypass pipeline in dense phase pneumatic conveying were investigated numerically. The simulation was conducted using the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software Fluent with the Euler- Euler model accounting for four-way coupling. Experiments and calculations were conducted using flyash powder conveyed in a horizontal pipeline. The influence of the pipe length on pressure drop prediction was also investigated. The results indicate that pressure prediction of the CFD simulation model for a bypass pipe is promising. The conclusion is that this investigation can offer improved insight and initial design modelling capability for bypass pneumatic conveying systems.
