The design and placement of a new building in an urban environment is optimised so that
pedestrians do not feel uncomfortable due to high wind speeds. Architects and city planners …

We investigate how to set the inlet temperature, and arrange a set of vehicle parts inside a
paint curing oven, so as to maximize a non-convex, non-linear objective function. Standard …

We present the development of a sharp-interface immersed boundary method based in-
house fluid–structure interface (FSI) solver. In particular, we implement conjugate heat …

A backwards-tracking Lagrangian–Eulerian method is used to simulate planar viscoelastic
squeeze flow. The momentum and continuity equations are discretized with the finite volume …

Oven curing of automotive parts is a complex industrial process involving multiple scales
ranging from submillimeter thick layers to the size of the ovens, and long curing times. In this …

Wind comfort is an important factor when new buildings in existing urban areas are planned.
It is common practice to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to model wind …

A new interactive approach to navigate on approximations of in general non-convex but
connected Pareto fronts is introduced. Given a finite number of precalculated representative …

Heat transfer modeling of large industrial ovens such as those used in automotive
paintshops is difficult due to the large and multiple scales and long curing times. The flow …

As global urbanization is accelerating and the majority of the world's population continues to
reside in cities, sustainable urban development is becoming increasingly crucial. Evaluation …

A new Lagrangian–Eulerian method for the simulation of viscoelastic free surface flow is
proposed. The approach is developed from a method in which the constitutive equation for …
