Digital twins for cities, getting closer and closer. The wind at the ‘Plaza del Pilar’
Digital twins for cities emerge as tools to assist urban planning of cities. The digital twin of a city is generally made up of a three-dimensional model, sensors located throughout [...]
Digital twin for a biomass boiler (DT4Biomass Project)
The DT4Biomass project received a grant from the European Union within the call H2020-INNOSUP-2018-2019 (To better support innovation in SMEs). Thanks to this grant, we hired an expert person (PhD) [...]
The transition to sustainable fuel
The climate targets set for 2030 and 2050 will progressively compel to use sustainable fuels in combustion facilities for the generation of steam, electricity or other uses. Solid biomass, gases [...]
Flue gas flow in a biomass boiler
Computational Fluid Dynamics for biomass boilers The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a very useful tool to study relevant aspects in the design of a biomass boiler such as the [...]
Pathway to the smart oven
Our participation in the project Cloudifacturing The digital tool presented here was developed in the framework of the European project Cloudifacturing by a consortium led by EndeF, S.L. (manufacturer and installer of hybrid [...]
The challenge of simulating combustion and heat transfer in a boiler: a chamber and 10000 pipes
The challenge of simulating a boiler The application of CFD to boilers has limited most of the times to the furnace (the area where the combustion takes place), not accounting [...]
Valves and CFD simulation
Valves are elements where computational fluid dynamics has been usually applied: their desing, characterization (calculation of flow coefficients) or the study of cavitation (prevention and calculation of coefficients, such as [...]
Mixing and sedimentation in tanks
The problems related to the particle deposition in the tank of a gas desulfurization plant motivated this project, whose objective was to evaluate the mixing and stirring in the tank [...]
Evaluation of the wind resource
A typical example of a fluid simulation application is wind turbine micrositting or the evaluation of the wind potential in a particular area. To do that, we need to define, [...]
