However, there have been very few reports on prediction accuracy of CFD simulations about wind flow around buildings.
Furthermore, the effect of different calculation conditions (such as size of computational domain, grid resolution, boundary conditions and selection of turbulence model, etc.) on CFD simulations is not understood.
Using numerical CFD simulations have many advantages for optimizing wind tunnel experiments.

Based on the fast process of acid-base neutralization, the effects of geometric parameters such as the angle of diffuser, ratio of nozzle diameter to mixing chamber diameter and the position of nozzle on mixing and reaction characteristics were analyzed using CFD in detail.
The velocity is constant in all the simulations at different geometric parameters; At the outlet, the boundary is the pressure boundary.
At first, the simulations are based on various m by varying the mixing chamber diameter with other geometric sizes constant ( m=0.55, 0.45, 0.35 and 0.25).
In the numerical simulations the diffuser anglewere set 0°, 3°, 8°, and 14°, respectively.

The solidification model is vital to the simulation of casting process with mushy zoned involved.
The model has been realized on the commercial CFD package, in which the solid and liquid of metal are united in one frame.
The macro modeling for solidification is vital to the precise simulation of casting process.
However, the new features in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) technologies may not be involved, which has been maturing progressively and would improve the casting simulation.
The velocity is pretty small, however the flow pattern can be observed clearly because of the high accuracy of CFD solver.

This work presents the study of UWS injection spray using commercial available CFD code, Fire v8.3.
The CFD model containing both evaporation of water and thermal decomposition of urea is used in the present simulation.
CFD Methodology Fluid Flow and Spray.
To evaluate the influence of variation of exhaust gas temperature, and injector mounting positions, known spray parameters are essential for CFD simulation as boundary conditions.
Simulation results are compared with experimental values obtained by Kim et al. [4] and NH3 conversion efficiency of 80~90% is observed during the simulation and is in-line with current trends.
