We are glad to announce that the BOSfluids course has been updated. The course has been restructured and expanded to provide insights on the latest version of the BOSfluids program.
The basis for reliable fiberglass piping systems are the specifications that lay out the requirements to the system regarding material quality, engineering, installation and inspection and test plans.
Cooling water installations are designed to cool an installation in the event of a nearby fire. This can be necessary if the contents of a tank or pressure vessel are likely to expand with heat. We can use BOSfluids to perform hydraulic calculations of steady state flows in a cooling water system that includes many deluge nozzles (sprinklers).
The latest BOSfluids release brings a new, low-cost license option that is aimed at users who are primarily interested in performing steady state analyses.
Dynaflow Research Group has recently performed several level 1 and 3 assessments resulting in either extended service lifetimes or recommendation of component replacement.
The new BOSfluids release brings many small and large improvements to its user interface that make it even more efficient and versatile.
Dynaflow proudly presents a new online training course: “Pipe Stress Analysis”.
Dynaflow Research Group has performed the design and analysis for the firewater deluge layout of two large production modules of a floating production storage and
Two of the key challenges currently encountered in operating geothermal wells using conventional steel casings are corrosion and scaling. These problems significantly reduce the lifespan

Introduction The flow in the header of a finger-type slug catcher is analyzed using CFD techniques. In order to design a high-performance finger-type slug catcher, it is necessary that the fluid flow in the inlet header manifold is evenly distributed among the different fingers. Analysis A detailed flow analysis by

Vibrations had been seen in the piping of a reciprocating compressor plant and the operator of the plant was worried that fatigue cracks could occur. Therefore a study was conducted by DRG to determine how the vibration levels could be reduced and whether they were leading to stress levels exceeding
Accumulators are used to reduce pressure pulsations from reciprocating pumps by adding volume to the piping. In the preliminary design stage the size and position of the accumulator needs to be determined before the piping design is completed. The performance of the system including the pump and connected piping is
Commercially available pulsation analysis software uses either a transient (time domain) or harmonic (frequency domain) solver. A time domain solver is more accurate for determining the pulsation amplitude, but solving in the frequency domain can be orders of magnitude faster. Which solver should you use and why is there a
When purchasing or delivering a reciprocating pump an API674 pulsation study might be required. The API 674 describes two different design approaches in Annex C (2010 edition).
