CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Foreword
This document (EN 1538:2010+A1:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 288 “Execution
of special geotechnical works”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2015, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by December 2015.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes !EN 1538:2010".
This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 2015-04-17.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !".
The general scope of TC 288 is the standardisation of the execution procedures for geotechnical works
(including testing and control methods), and of the required material properties. WG15 has been charged to
revise EN 1538:2000, with the subject area of both retaining and cut-off diaphragm walls. This standard does
not address the execution of barrettes, which is covered by EN 1536, Execution of special geotechnical
work ― Bored piles.
The design, planning and execution of retaining and cut-off diaphragm walls call for experience and
knowledge in this specialised field. The execution phase requires skilled and qualified personnel and the
present standard cannot replace the expertise of specialist contractors.
The document has been prepared to stand alongside EN 1997-1, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design ― Part 1:
General rules and EN 1997-2, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design ― Part 2: Ground investigation and testing.
This standard expands on design only where necessary (e.g. the detailing of reinforcement) and provides full
coverage of the construction and supervision requirements.
#The amendment became necessary to accord the Standard EN 1538:2010 with EN 206:2013, Concrete –
Specification, performance, production and conformity. EN 206:2013 has been revised to contain also the
specific requirements for concrete for applications for special geotechnical works, making redundant
respective provisions in EN 1538 (e.g. 6.1, 6.3 and 8.8).
Full according with EN 13670, Execution of concrete structures is however still pending.
EN 1538:2010+A1:2015 therefore still contains specific requirements for bored piles as a concrete structure,
such as the detailing of the reinforcement, the concrete placement and the supervision of concreting process
which are complementing the provisions of EN 13670.
In addition, some editorial corrections were made in this amended Standard."
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope
This European Standard establishes general principles for the execution of diaphragm walls as either retaining
walls or cut-off walls.
NOTE 1 This standard covers only structures constructed in a trench excavated with a support fluid or in dry conditions,
where soil is removed and replaced by concrete or slurry and with wall thickness B ≥ 40 cm.
NOTE 2 Diaphragm walls can be permanent or temporary structures.
NOTE 3 The following types of structure are considered:
a) retaining walls: usually constructed to support the sides of an excavation in the ground. They include:
1) cast in situ concrete diaphragm walls;
2) precast concrete diaphragm walls;
3) reinforced slurry walls;
b) cut-off walls: usually constructed to prevent migration of groundwater, clear or polluted, or of other contaminants
present in the ground. They include:
1) slurry walls (possibly with membranes or sheet piles);
2) plastic concrete walls.
NOTE 4 Walls formed shallow vertical trenches (typically excavations with a ratio of depth over thickness D/B < 5 or
D < 5 m) are not covered by this standard.
