Viscous flows around NASA CRM wing-body-tail configuration were simulated by an in-house CFD solver called Exstream.
Common challenges are complex flow simulation (such as pressure gradients, laminar/turbulent transition regions, separated and possible unsteady flow) by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and mesh generation for topologically complex configurations by grid methods (e.g., Refs. [1, 2]).
As mentioned earlier, AUSMDV, k-ω SST turbulence model and LU-SGS have been used for this simulation.

The results showed that macro-mixing scale-up model agreed well with CFD simulations but the micro-mixing scale-up model had a less precision compared with that of macro-mixing model.
All the simulations in this work used same boundary conditions.
The details of cases and the length needed to reach 98% mixing both gotten from the scale-up equations and from the CFD simulations were demonstrated in table 1.

In the CFD(computational fluid dynamics) study of hydrocyclones, the grid is a important factor to predicting the flow field.
The CFD study of the axial, radial and tangential velocity profiles have been carried out.
Nowakowski has Simulated hydrocyclones by CFD to make clear whether it is a realizable option or still a research challenge [2].
Two commercial CFD software of Fluent and CFX were used to simulate the hydrocyclone and get the Prediction of strongly swirling flow within an axial hydrocyclone [4].
The CFD simulation and experimental validation studies on hydrocyclone were carried out at the same time and got the conclusion that predictions using RSM model were found better in agreement with experimental results with a marginal error between 4% and 8% [5].
