new idea , lets discuss it together

afghani · April 30, 2012, 03:10

hey all , how are you
I am a computer engineer and I have an idea , but I need your help to develope it .

I think about developing a portable software for mobile devices to remotely control fluid flow in pipe systems (for example gas pipes) .

1) is it a good and applicable idea ?

2) where should I start , and what exactly are the CFD equations I have to focus on ?

3) is JAVA a good choice for such purposes ?

thank you

I can't speak to whether this is a useful idea, but I will say that CFD is likely not required for most pipe systems.

From what you are describing, it sounds like CFD would be overkill. Look into pipe network analysis first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_network_analysis
