The building industry is increasingly focused on energy efficiency, and windows play a crucial role in a building’s overall thermal performance. The Italian standard UNI 11673-1-2017 provides specific requirements for evaluating the thermal transmittance (U-value) of windows and doors. Read more…
Have you ever worked with large, complex datasets and felt overwhelmed trying to understand them? Visualization is often the key to unlocking hidden insights, and the power of ParaView is now accessible through its Python scripting interface, pvpython. This Read more…
Introduction Fire sprinklers are a critical component of fire safety systems, designed to detect and suppress fires quickly, protecting lives and property. Simulating their behavior in a fire environment using tools like Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) can provide valuable Read more…
Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis relies heavily on the choice of element type. The accuracy and efficiency of your simulation depend significantly on selecting the appropriate element for your geometry and loading conditions. Three fundamental element types are BEAM, Read more…
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool for simulating fluid flow, but accurately capturing turbulence – the chaotic, unpredictable nature of many real-world flows – remains a significant challenge. While numerous turbulence models exist, the k-ε (k-epsilon) model Read more…
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a powerful tool for modeling and simulating fire behavior. Understanding how to effectively monitor the simulated environment is crucial for extracting meaningful results. This is where the DEVC (Device) keyword comes in – a Read more…
OpenFOAM, a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) toolbox, often deals with unsteady, turbulent flows. While resolving every fluctuation can be computationally expensive and sometimes unnecessary, extracting meaningful time-averaged quantities is crucial for understanding the underlying flow physics. This is Read more…
