Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A turbine engineer uses CFD to simulate a gas turbine under varying fluid conditions. They notice significant divergence in temperature predictions. Discuss what boundary conditions they need to review.
💡 Hint: Think about how each boundary directly influences the upstream and downstream conditions.
Critique how the neglect of radiation in heat transfer modeling would affect a steam turbine’s performance in a CFD analysis.
💡 Hint: Consider the environments turbines operate in and the significance of energy transfer.
