Tickets no longer being booked using Humanitix.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling is not a new concept but is to date, not broadly used within the drainage industry.   

What is CFD?  

"Computational fluid dynamic modeling is based on the idea of using computers to solve mathematical equations describing the dynamics of a fluid. Such equations are the equations of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. These equations are typically partial differential equations that describe, for example, the change in mass of a small element of fluid over a short period of time. Such advancement occurs by interactions of the fluid element with its environment. That is, the mass particle is moved over a short period of time through its local neighborhood whose property variations are estimated by spatial gradients, i.e., partial differential equations. Computationally, the idea is to repeat these small incremental changes for all the particles in a fluid over many small time steps to evolve the dynamics of a large fluid region."
