| By Chris Carey, Technical Services Manager, Fluent Europe NAFEMS – The International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community – is a UK-based, non-profit organization with over 650 members distributed through 41 countries around the world, mainly in Europe and North America. Its principal aim is to promote the safe and reliable use of engineering analysis (EA) in industry. An important part of its activity is the provision of training for EA practitioners. It publishes a large number of books containing “how to” guidelines, benchmark studies, and background information on EA for the benefit of its members; these books are also made available for purchase by non-members. Although best known for its work in solid mechanics (especially finite element methods), five years ago NAFEMS established a CFD working group, whose membership includes industrial users of CFD and software suppliers, including Fluent. The group has been working on a number of publications that parallel those produced in the past for finite element analysis, such as:
These booklets are targeted at industrial users of CFD and their managers. As the titles suggest, they are focused on the process of applying CFD, as well as on the technology behind the software and related engineering science. In addition to its publication work, the NAFEMS CFD Working Party also
holds seminars and workshops for members and non-members. The next, CFD
in Industrial Turbulent Flows, will be held in London in February 2003. |
