‘Border Security Market Worth $17bn in 2011′ Says visiongain Report

October 31, 2011 admin Uncategorized

LONDON, October 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ –

http://www.visiongain.com/Report/706/The-Border-Security-Market-2011-2021-UAVs-UGVs-Perimeter-Surveillance-Systems

Visiongain’s new report indicates that the border security market will reach a value of $17bn in 2011, as governments around the world continue to invest in a range of border security products designed to offer protection against a wide range of homeland security threats from combating terrorism, to controlling the movement of goods and personnel across international boundaries. Although the expansion of international agreements in Europe and Eurasia is reducing the number of secured international borders, continued threats from international terrorism, cross-border crime and illegal immigration maintain border security as a top priority in more developed states, and increasingly in developing states.

The report contains 78 tables, charts and figures that quantify, analyse and forecast the border security market. Visiongain provides forecasts for the period 2011-2021 in terms of value (US$) for the global border security market as well as for 7 submarkets that together form the overall market figure. In addition, the report quantifies, analyses and forecasts 7 regional border security markets from 2011-2021. The report provides profiles of 20 leading companies operating within the market, and includes interviews with Unisys Global Security Solutions – a leading IT solutions provider and systems integrator; and OptaSense – a subsidiary of QinetiQ – and provider of acoustically sensitive fibre optic solutions for perimeter security, providing expert insight alongside Visiongain analysis.

The Border Security Market 2011-2021: UAVs, UGVs Perimeter Surveillance Systems report will be of value to current and future potential investors into the border security industry, as well as companies and research centres who wish to broaden their knowledge of the border security market.

STAR-CCM+ v6.06: Faster, Better, and Wider

October 31, 2011 admin Uncategorized

NEW YORK and LONDON, October 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ –

CD-adapco, the world’s largest independent CFD-focused provider of engineering simulation solutions announced today the release of STAR-CCM+ v6.06. STAR-CCM+ is CD-adapco’s simulation solution for solving multidisciplinary engineering problems.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110623/MM25604LOGO)

“Released three times a year, each new version of STAR-CCM+ is focused on improving customer satisfaction,” says Senior VP of Product Management Jean-Claude Ercolanelli. “We set ourselves a very high standard in this regard and our success is confirmed by our users: in our annual 2011 customer survey, 97% of CD-adapco users said that they would recommend our software.”

STAR-CCM+ v6.06 ensures higher throughput and offers:

  1. FASTER turnaround times: support of parallel I/O file systems, new sparse solver for electrical solutions, quicker polyhedral meshing, and new CAD reading technology
  2. BETTER application coverage: improved process for Li-ion batteries simulation, new physical models for Eulerian multiphase flow and LES combustion
  3. WIDER multidisciplinary solution: simulation of electromagnetics and electrical fields, and import of SPEED models for flow and thermal analyses of electrical devices

Improvements to the User Environment

Optimizing License Resources: A new flexible licensing approach is adopted, meaning that users can take, reserve, or release licenses for add-on modules (such as Battery Simulation Module, DARS-CFD, JTOpen Reader, and CAD Exchange Reader) from within their working session.

New and Improved Tutorials: a selection of new tutorials is available to guide users through the use of newly implemented features, or those that have been enhanced.

Geometry Preparation and Surface Meshing

CAD Clients: Live Model Checker provides feedback of model validity during the setup process, checking for consistency and conflicts. Upfront flow and thermal simulations can also be run in parallel from within your CAD environment.

Geometry Import: New CAD Exchange readers deliver improved reliability and speed when reading native CAD parts and assemblies.

3D- CAD: Import 3D splines or sheet bodies that can be used as the basis for creating a solid body for analysis purposes.

Engineering Physics

SPEED Integration: Directly import models from CD-adapco’s new electric machines tool and generate a 3D analysis-ready STAR-CCM+ model. Thermal fields can be transferred onto the imported geometry, allowing full flow and thermal analysis of the electrical device.

Electromagnetics: STAR-CCM+ has a new solver for Magnetic Vector Potential, which operates in stationary and transient mode and couples to electrical potential solver for electromagnetic problems. Solver can simulate both linear and non-Linear materials.

Sample Applications: Electric motors, Alternators, Generators, Transformers, etc.

Eulerian Multiphase: Building on existing features to provide a complete solution for multiphase analysis, the addition of a wall-boiling model enables analyses of sub-cooled liquid boiling. S-Gamma population balance model can predict particle or bubble size distribution.

Sample Applications: IC engine water jackets; Nuclear fuel rod cooling; Food and chemical processing

Liquid Film: the latest version completes the STAR-CCM+ liquid film capability, broadening its applicability and scope. An edge-stripping model automatically removes film and injects droplets when a sharp edge is reached. Energy transport is now possible within a liquid film.

Sample Applications: Vehicle soiling and Brake cooling

Battery Simulation Module: a pipeline process allows battery set up modifications to be automatically re-executed. STAR-CCM+ v6.06 also allows arbitrary polyhedral meshing for the battery cells and for creating a conformal mesh between posts, tabs, surrounding fluid, mountings, etc. A new sparse solver for electrical solutions is also included. Together these new features provide a significant speedup of solution times.

Materials: a user-defined equation of state for both gasses and liquids gives users full definition of fluid’s behaviour in response to changes in pressure and temperature.

Combustion: a Thickened Flame Model for premixed LES combustion artificially thickens flames to allow the flame front to be resolved adequately. Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) model for DARS-CFD divides the computational domain into areas where reactions do and do not occur and improves the overall prediction of temperature and species for LES combustion.

Sample Applications: Gas turbine combustors, Flares

Performance

Parallel file I/O: takes advantage of parallel file systems such as Panasas, Lustre and GPFS file systems to greatly improve speed of sim file write. Performance is directly related to number of storage blades available.

Post-Processing

Separation and re-attachment lines: you can now create a derived part to identify areas where the flow has separated from the surface and where it re-attaches, which may be used to seed streamlines and constrained streamlines, etc.
