This article reviews the method of analyzing fluid flow in structures and designs, which is enjoying a burst of interest. Twenty years later, manufacturers across a myriad of industries are licensing the technology from a pool of vendors who now market computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages of many stripes. Engineers use CFD to predict how fluids will flow and to predict the quantitative effects of the fluid on the solids with which they are in contact. Airflow is commonly studied with the software. Many mechanical engineers do not need access to all the bells and whistles an advanced CFD program can provide. Advanced analysis programs are usually the purview of a user trained on a particular CFD package. Engineers used CFD to determine how to best position the fans so that air flowed inside the refrigerator and the freezer in the most efficient way. After studying fluid flow simulations, they made prototypes of the most promising modeled designs to see if the prototypes matched CFD simulation results.

In this paper we present the integration of computational steering techniques into the interactive material flow simulation d3FACT insight. This kind of simulation differs from traditional, long running High Performance Computing (HPC) simulations such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or Molecular Dynamics in many aspects. One very important aspect is that these simulations run in (soft) real-time, thus the corresponding visualization needs to be updated after every step of the simulation. In turn, this allows to let changes, made through the visualization, impact the actual simulation and again, to see the effects in visualization. To allow this kind of control over the simulation and to further provide a flexible basis to integrate several instances of simulation, visualization and steering components, we used and enhanced a self-developed computational steering platform, which fits best for the needs of highly interactive and distributed simulations. Thereby we are able to realize multi-user and comparative scenarios which were not possible in this field of simulations before.

The method that combined the reverse engineering based on CT medical images and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to perform simulation the Non-Newtonian blood fluid flow in human abdominal artery, then analyzed the hemodynamic condition about the bifurcation of human abdominal artery. A Non-Newtonian blood model (the Generalised Power Law) was used to study the hemodynamic parameters during entire cardiac cycle. Calculated results for the Non-Newtonian blood flow show us the methods performed in this study is suitable for numerical simulating the blood flow in human artery and investigating the relation between hemodynamic factors and vascular disease.

This paper presents flow simulations in packed beds by a coupled discrete element method (DEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The realistic packing structure in packed beds is generated by DEM. Then the packing structure is imported into the CFD preprocessor to generate a mesh for flow simulations in packed beds. The subsequent CFD simulations are carried out. The predicted results reveal that not only the local behavior but also macroscopic quantities like the pressure drop depend remarkably on the local packing structural parameters, which is unable to be taken into account when using correlations with averaged values.
