CFD Study 
With support from the Government of Ontario, Canada, under the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) research-to-commercialization program, AVEtec Energy Corporation and the University of Western Ontario (UWO) - Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory (BLWTL) recently completed a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) study of the AVE process.
The size and scale of the model used in the CFD studies was selected to replicate results from a small scale experimental model.
Various parameter studies were completed to determine optimum AVE design geometry and process parameters.
A photograph of the experimental model and sample CFD results for domain heights of 2 m and 6 m are shown below.
