9:45 – 10:15		Pointwise and Gridgen: Simplifying Complex Meshing Problems Mr. Richard J. Matus, Ph.D. Vice President, Pointwise, Inc.
9:45 – 10:15	Pointwise and Gridgen have unique capabilities for automatically handling poor quality CAD geometry, generating high-quality viscous meshes on complex geometries, and automating the meshing process with scripting. These techniques will be shown along with a preview of upcoming developments.
10:15 – 10:20	Break
10:20 – 11:00		Investigation of unfavorable conditions in wind turbine micro-sitting using both steady and detached-eddy CFD simulation with Pointwise meshes Mr. Gregory S. Oxley, Ph.D. CFD Engineer, Wind & Site Competence Centre, Vestas Wind Systems A/S
10:20 – 11:00	Unfavorable wind conditions can cause the premature failure of wind turbine generators, thereby reducing business case certainty of a wind project. This session presents CFD activities at Vestas for risk mitigation in wind turbine micro-sitting.
11:00 – 11:15	Break
11:15 – 11:30	TURBOdesign Suite 5.0 – Evolving into a full-fledged turbomachinery design system Yukihiro Yamamoto Technical Marketing Group, Engineering Department 1, VINAS Co., Ltd. An overview of upcoming TURBOdesign Suite 5.0, which will feature 1D design, volute design and optimization functions in addition to its existing turbomachinery blade design function based on 3D inverse solution method.
11:30 – 12:00		TURBOdesign Suite 5.0, the ideal platform for Superior 3D aerodynamic design Prof. Mehrdad Zangeneh Managing Director, Advanced Design technology Ltd.
11:30 – 12:00	In this presentation, the new features, functionalities and modules in TURBOdesignSuite 5.0 will be shown. The presentation will show how TURBOdesignSuite can be used throughout the design process for various turbomachinery components from preliminary design to multi-objective/multi-point design.
