Flow modelling results
CFD modelling of the airflow and particle trajectories in the spray dryer was an important issue in the project. Black-and-white plots of the modelling results are included in the dissertation, but the modelling results come to life only on a computer screen.
Because the flow visualiser shipped with CFX-F3D (with which the modelling work was done) was not quite what I wanted it to be, I developed my own visualiser: dmpviz.exe. You can download this program to study the modelling results in more detail than is possible from the black-and-white plots in my dissertation. Of course, some solved flow cases accompany the visualiser.
