CFD applications in the context of power plants illustrate the detailed three-dimensional studies in complex geometries that are possible today. These routine simulations give a much more detailed representation of many flow configurations than was possible with scale models. Aside from these global simulations conducted with standard models, use of Second Moment Closures better represent the effects of body forces, such as buoyancy and rotation, encountered in sub components of the plant. Finally Large Eddy Simulation is introduced on unstructured grids and applied to the flow in a tube bundle.
