All our Industrial Process technical papers and fundamentals — networks and pressure losses, chimneys and draught, thermal storage.
CFD simulation locates pressure losses, duct draught and stratification. This library brings together our Industrial Process technical papers, from fundamentals through to applied studies.
Clear explanations, without needless jargon — for decision-makers as much as for engineers.
Each paper builds on studies carried out by our PhD fluid-mechanics engineers.
Open content to spread the culture of CFD and fluid mechanics.
