Attendees will explore how\u00a0<strong><em>FLOW-3D<\/em>\u00a0(x)<\/strong>\u00a0can be used to quickly develop meaningful insights into model behavior, including parameter sensitivity and mesh convergence, to build a foundational understanding that allows users to produce defensible results even when using more complex models for sediment settling or bubbly flows. The second part details the specific considerations and hands-on practices that inform efficient, accurate modeling of flows subject to turbulent mixing. Two practical and timely applications are covered: contact tank analysis for drinking water treatment, and modeling of discharge plumes, a topic that extends across many water quality applications, from desalination outfalls to combined sewer overflow plumes and industrial facility discharges.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on validation work and best practice guidance, attendees will leave the training session with precise, hands-on steps that will ensure reliable results for future projects in these application areas.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advanced Simulation Strategies with\u00a0<em>FLOW-3D<\/em>\u00a0CAST: Modeling, Optimization, and Data-Driven Insights<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Instructors: Dr. Matthias Todte, Head of Support and Services and\u00a0Florian Wirth, Sales &amp; Support Engineer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This advanced training is designed for experienced\u00a0<strong><em>FLOW-3D<\/em>\u00a0CAST<\/strong>\u00a0users who want to deepen their simulation expertise and expand their analytical capabilities.
