A parallel distributed computing based finite element system is proposed which would efficiently address the accuracy problem associated with high stress areas. The objective of the research is to develop a second generation finite element analysis software. Adaptive Mesh Refinement would be used to created accurate descretization automatically. Adaptive Mesh Refinement would be used to created accurate descretization automatically. The proposed finite element system would create comprehensively descretized models automatically and solve these models using parallel processing.
Water turbines can undergo large pressure transient which can lead to massive failure.
The principal objective is to understand the nature of an important failure which occurred in Victoria and study how the details of the design can affect sensititivity to failure. This project investigates the behavior of steel tubular connections which have a large range of applications especially in the gas and oil industry as key components of offshore steel structures. Flat plates in laminar flow is being studied for the purpose of wake control and drag reduction. Areas that are being investigated include lock in of oscillating plates with a different leading and trailing edge geometries. Large eddy simulation of fluid flows using finite element spatial discretisation.
