Dynaflow Opens new US Office
Dynaflow Research Group announces the opening of a new US-based office, Dynaflow Research Group, Inc., located in Houston, Texas.
BOSpulse: (Preview) Save time modelling with the new PSD generator
In the next release of our pulsation analyses software BOSpulse, version 5.1, we will introduce a new modelling tool to generate the elements that make up a complete Pulsation Suppression Devices (PSD) based on a limited number of input parameters.
Upcoming BOSfluids release offers a steady state license option
BOSfluids is mostly known and used for transient flow analyses. However, it also provides a robust, fast and accurate steady state flow solver that can handle systems filled with liquids or gases. The upcoming BOSfluids 7.0 will offer a steady state license option that makes BOSfluids a very capable and cost-effective solution for the analysis […]
Flow pulse of a rotary lobe blower compressor
Dynaflow performed an pulsation analysis study for a client where a silencer check was required to dampen the pulsations generated by a rotary lobe blower. A rotary lobe blower is a positive displacement pump which operates by pumping a gas with a pair of lobes. Gas is trapped in pockets surrounding the lobes and carried […]
BOSfluids: Two-phase flood and drain analyses
When an empty, or gas filled, piping system is rapidly filled with a liquid, then significant forces can be exerted by the liquid on the system, especially when the liquid hits a significant flow restriction or the end point of a pipeline section. Indeed, there have been multiple incidents involving firewater systems in which these […]
Coupled Thermodynamic BOSfluids-Jive Simulations
BOSfluids Thermodynamic Module BOSfluids is known for its steady state, quasi steady state and transient flow solvers and the more recent interface to the structural solver of ANSYS. Recently the steady state solver of BOSfluids has been extended with a thermodynamic module. That is, given thermal boundary conditions, BOSfluids calculates the temperature profile within the […]
The J-integral Approach in Elastic-Plastic Fatigue Analysis
The J-integral Approach in Elastic-Plastic Fatigue Analysis by Tammo Dukker In a fatigue analysis one would like to investigate the susceptibility of a structural component to crack propagation under cyclic loading to determine the number of cycles until a failure occurs. Common techniques applied in a fatigue analysis follow from the results of a linear […]
BOSfluids: Improved pump model and user interface
Pump failure is a common cause of problematic transient flow conditions in piping systems. Simulation of pump failure is therefore an effective way to assess the robustness of a piping system before actual damage can occur. The pump model implemented by BOSfluids uses built-in pump curves to simulate the operating conditions of a pump after […]
Release ISOtracer 2.2
The next release of ISOtracer, version 2.2, is available. With ISOtracer you can model and mark up isometric drawings in a single operation. Simply trace along the piping on the drawings to create a 3-D model and position markers at the same time. This new version of ISOtracer includes the following improvements: New support for […]
BOSfluids 6.2: Improved and more efficient user interface
The BOSfluids user interface has been improved in many visible and invisible ways in this new release. Although many changes are relatively small, together they make the user interface significantly more efficient when creating and modifying piping models. One change concerns the Piping tab page that requires less screen space so that more screen estate […]
