Co-simulation of a 1D with a 3D model potentially offers many benefits and this seminar aims to examine them. It enables the sharing of boundary data between 1D and 3D models in a single or multi-domain system to facilitate the simulation the overall fluid system coupled with more detailed CFD simulation of 3D flows within a critical part of the network.
This seminar aims to: Explore the motivation for linking 1D system and 3D CFD models in terms of engineering and practical aspirations; Consider some of the key challenges in performing such analyses and how to rise to them; and Look at some of the commercially available options for addressing the technical need.
