CFD for UK's Met Office
The Wolfson Unit have recently conducted CFD consultancy work for the Met Office, simulating the flow around a weather balloon launch shed. Detached eddy simulation (DES) was used, a method which resolves the large scale turbulent motions in the flow and captures more of the flow physics than more commonly used Reynolds averaged (RANS) approaches.
