Often in the cities we can spot company name signs standing on the rooftops of buildings. In this simulation I study the wind load acting on a sign of a certain company set on a roof of a building.
An often overlooked issue remains to be investigated: what is the force acting on a sign and what kind of mounting is required to fix said sign on the rooftop. Support structures are usually prepared before the installation and once in place might pose danger, supposed that they are not suited for strong wind load conditions. A numerical simulation prepared during design phase can ensure that the structure and the sing will hold.

In this project I study the effects of use of different inlet shapes on the performance of a centrifugal pump. A generic centrifugal pump was designed as the core for the analysis.
It consists of a stator part, rotor and virtual rotating zone. The inlet section of the pump is extended and three shapes are investigated: straight intake, single 90 deg turn and double 90 deg turn. Keeping the operating conditions of the pump constant the investigation was focused on rotation driven flow (fluid motion is generated only by the pump). The comparison of difference in obtained flow rate and the observable differences in flow representation was presented.
