Best Practice Advice
[Note that this page was copied verbatim from the HTML used in the original QNET web site. It needs further work...]
The Knowledge Base contains:
- Best Practice Advice for each of the Underlying Flow Regimes that distils the experience of the European community of specialists into guidelines for ensuring quality of CFD simulations;
- Best Practice Advice for each of the Application Challenges based on existing knowledge, giving guidance to users attempting similar calculations to enable them to perform quality calculations and to interpret and deploy results with greater trust.
- A State-of-the-Art Review on each Thematic Area, written by a leading expert in the field.
