DES simuluation of turbulence in the Colorado River

This is a DES simulation of flow in Eminence Break lateral separation eddy fo the Colorado River in Grand Canyon. The flow is for a discharge of 1200 cubic meters per second. The magnitude of the velocity at the water surface is shown.

A Classroom Model for Understanding Earth’s Climate Change

Background: This project uses a rotating tank to conduct fluid experiments for studying the sensitivity of Earth’s climate to external perturbations.

 

 

Contours of tangential velocity of the tank in CFD solver ANSYS-Fluent & validation of the Temperature Profile of the experimental rotational fluid tank in Paraview/Matlab.

Backbone structures for three different peptides after 50 ns all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with explicit solvent.

The three darker colors show three different peptides bound to their protein receptors, while the three lighter colors show the peptides unbound in a solution.
