If you have ever been in a climbing or boulder gym, you may have seen that a lot of climbers use chalk powder (magnesium carbonate) to reduce the moisture on their hands and thereby increase their grip on the climbing holds. However, not all of it stays on the climbers hands… part of the powder …
Above a hydrogen concentration of more than 4 volume percent (the so-called lower flammability limit or LFL), the hydrogen-air mixture can be ignited and is therefore a potential risk.For safety reasons a hazardous area is usually defined as the region with volume percentages above 25% of the LFL. Computational Fluid Dynamics is a great tool …

We frequently use OpenFOAM, an open-source software framework for computational methods based on the Finite Volume method. Although you can build your own solvers, it already comes with a range of different solvers for all kinds of fluid flow and structural mechanics problems. OpenFOAM 11 from the OpenFOAM foundation has modular solvers, which can be …
Welcome to our newly designed website! In this blog we want to show you what keeps us busy, what’s new and provide you with interesting examples of the things we can simulate. So, if you are interested, you can visit our site regularly and check for updates. Also, feel free to contact us if you …
