This project involves meshing externally a platform of some modern design buildings, and then visualizing the behavior of the air that flows through it by simulating it, which is  a common practice nowadays, performed in urban developing, architectural design, environmental planning applications and many more. For the meshing of the maquette configuration of buildings that form this urban landscape, the Hex-dominant parametric (only CFD) and 16 processors were used. A steady state incompressible flow simulation, using the k-omega Spalart Allmaras turbulence model,  is executed, in order to visualize the air flow  as well as the critical areas of the re-circulation. Results from the simulation, as well as flow visualization techniques are also provided from the SimScale and Paraview platforms.

This project involves meshing internally a Ball Valve, and then simulating its' operation when water flows through it. A ball valve is a structure that is placed between two pipelines, connecting them through its' hollow interior by utilizing two diametrically placed holes. For this case, the floating ball has a hollow cylinder through its center, with a diameter same as the inner one of the pipelines. The Cylinder is not parallel to the pipes, and instead it is placed diagonally. A steady state incompressible flow simulation is executed to visualize the flow and its' re-circulation, as well as the critical areas of the pressure drop.
