Industrial Fan Simulation in OpenFOAM®

Short Example of CFD Simulation of Radial Industrial Fan using OpenFOAM® software

The original motivation for creating this workflow was the requirement of industrial fans designer to have an OpenFOAM® methodology for CFD simulations of their fans. The methodology creation process was pretty similar to the compressor workflow and this methodology later became a part of the Turbomachinery CFD package.

Elsevier releases 2013 Journal Metrics, www.journalmetrics.com

Elsevier releases 2013 Journal Metrics 

The metrics provide alternative, transparent and accurate views of the citation impact a journal

makes, and are all available for free download at www.journalmetrics.com. The impact metrics are

based on methodologies developed by external bibliometricians and use Scopus as the data source.

Scopus is the largest citation database of peer-reviewed literature and features tools to track,

analyze and visualize research output.

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 

SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of

citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where

citations are less likely, and vice versa. As a field-normalized metric SNIP offers researchers, authors

and librarians the ability to benchmark and compare journals from different subject areas. A

component of the SNIP calculation is the raw Impact per Publication (IPP) which measures the ratio

of citations per article published in the journal.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 

SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that ‘all citations are not created equal’. With SJR, the

subject field, quality and reputation of the journal have a direct effect on the value of a citation. It is

a size-independent indicator and it ranks journals by their ‘average prestige per article’ and can be

used for journal comparisons in the scientific evaluation process.

The SNIP is developed by Leiden University's Centre for Science & Technology Studies (CWTS). The

SJR is developed by the SCImago research group in Spain.

S3D - Sandia 3D Direct Numerical Solver for combustion

S3D is the Sandia 3D Direct Numerical Solver, which presently is capable of generating tens of terabytes of raw data per run in a parametric study of several runs, presenting a significant challenge for subsequent analysis and interpretation. The current approach is to store the raw data at prescribed time intervals, and then either analyze it on a supercomputer or access it via a local analysis and visualization cluster at Sandia. The raw data is archived so that various modeling groups in the combustion community can interrogate it to test model assumptions. To understand the correlation of scalar fields such as temperature, mixing rates, and species concentrations in turbulent flames, scientists must be able to visualize two or more scalars simultaneously. Conventional visualization tools do not directly support such a capability. Scientists often must make side-by-side comparisons of images of different variables by hand, which is tedious and time-consuming. Furthermore, the information that scientists can derive by looking at separate images is quite limited. Thus, they need effective methods for simultaneously visualizing multiple time-varying variables from large data sets in an interactive fashion.

The Fifth International Conference on Design and Analysis of Protective Structures (DAPS2015), 19-21 May 2015, Singapore

The idea of holding the International Conference on Design and Analysis of Protective Structures against Impact/Impulsive/Shock Loads was conceived in 2003 by the three founding institutes of the conference series, namely, National Defense Academy, Japan, Pennsylvania State University, USA and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

The first conference was organized by the National Defense Academy, Japan and was held in Tokyo, Japan, on 15-19 December, 2003 at the Hotel Grand Hill Ichigaya. The theme of the first conference was "State-of-the-art in Protective Technology for Structure Construction". The second conference organized by the Defence Science & Technology Agency, Singapore and the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore was held in Singapore on 13-15 November 2006 at the Shangri-La Hotel. The theme of the second conference was "Advances in Protective Technology". The third conference was also organized by the Defence Science & Technology Agency, Singapore and the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore on 10-12 May 2010 at the Novotel Clarke Quay. The fourth conference was organized by Agency for Defense Development and the Korea Institute of Military Science and Technology on 19-22 June 2012 in Jeju, Korea.

The organizing committee takes great pleasure in inviting you to the Fifth International Conference on Design and Analysis of Protective Structures (DAPS2015), which will be held from 19-21 May 2015 at Furama Riverfront Hotel.

This conference is co-organized by the Defence Science & Technology Agency, Singapore and the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
