  1. Application of the ASAP Technique in the Geophysical and Industrial Scales: a Comparison with BFC Lombard, E., Palacio, Rodriguez, A., Salinas, M., Vicente, W. Engineering Institute of the UNAM, Mexicoap. post. 70-472, Coyoacan 04510, Mexico D.F. PHOENICS User’s Conference Australia, May 2004

  2. INTRODUCTION • Calculations for two very different scale situations: • A geophysical case represented by hydrodynamics in a lake • An industrial facility represented by air flow in a spillwater aerator • Two different approaches: • 1) Body fitted coordinates • 2) Arbitrary Source Allocation Procedure • Comparisons between the two models considering a qualitative and quantitative point of view analyzing the flow patterns and the distribution of a scalar parameter.

  13. CONCLUSIONS • Considering a qualitative and quantitative point of view, both approaches show very much similitude in the results obtained when analyzing the flow patterns and the distribution of a scalar parameter. • ASAP requires a very moderate relaxation for velocities and no relaxation for the pressure, while the BFC computations require stronger relaxation for velocities, and for cases like the ones here presented a heavy linear relaxation for the pressure with values oscillating between 2 and 3.

  14. An overall preliminary analysis of the cases here presented, seem to indicate the calculations using the ASAP technique present more advantages when compared with the BFC approach: • It allows to represent the domain in a more easy way by just defining the geometry with an autocad file and then simply assigning the desired grid refinement. • Convergence is much easily attained. • The results obtained do not suffer from grid generation problems, as for the BFC cases where the grid presents very skewed cells.
