Introduction to the QNET Knowledge Base
The test cases are application centred, facilitating the identification of appropriate knowledge and advice for specific industrial purposes. They are organised around:
- Application Areas
- Underlying Flow Regimes
The application area section contains articles of specific interest to particular sector disciplines such as: Built Environment, Chemical and Process Engineering, External Aerodynamics, Turbomachinery, Combustion and Heat Transfer.
Each Application Area is comprised of Application Challenges (AC) which are realistic industrial test cases used to judge the competency and limitations of CFD for a given Application Area.
These are generic, well studied test cases capturing important elements of the key flow physics encountered across the Application Areas.
Content of the Knowledge Base
The content of each Application Challenge (AC) test case and Underlying Flow Regimes (UFR) test case article within the Knowledge Base consists of an:
- Abstract - Summary of content
- Description - Introduction to test case and physical phenomena involved, (for ACs also practical importance and parameters of interest and for UFRs, review of previous studies).
- Test Case Studies - Description of test case experiments and CFD simulations (and provision of data and CFD results for ACs)
- Evaluation - Comparison of CFD calculations with test case experiments
- Best Practice Advice
The AC articles are expected to have, and should contain, links to detailed data files for all experimental and CFD results according to the guidelines set out here. In the UFR articles it is sufficient to present the data as plots, although it is highly desirable to provide links to associated databases where these are available.
The templates for compiling AC and UFR articles can be found here in both MicroSoft Word and Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
