Abstract
Recently, the emergence of powerful microcomputers has brought comprehensive CFM within the reach of small companies. Consequently, numerical techniques for design and development are becoming cost-effective compared to the increasingly-expensive experimental approach. However, computational fluid modelling of realistic situations is highly complex and requires specialist expertise. The level of complexity is reflected in a leading CFM package, PHOENICS, which is used for the simulation of fluid flow, heat/mass transfer and chemical reaction processes. To successfully apply PHOENICS to a specific problem, specialist knowledge of data input, reasoning adopted by the software, the physics involved and the interpretation of results is essential. This work assesses the feasibility of developing an IKBS to assist and train users with the problem specification process within PHOENICS. An evaluation of a suitable IKBS tool and hardware requirements is included in the assessment.
