Power Generation Applications
Economic, political and environmental issues have been playing
a more dominant role in influencing the direction of the power generation
industry. This has resulted in a more urgent need for better understanding
and analysis of the complex processes involved. STAR-CD's ability to simulate
such processes without a need for compromise or simplification has made it
a powerful tool for simulation and gaining insight.
