The short overview of the applications performed by
members (PhD, MSc students) of the Thermo-Fluids Section,
Department of Multi Scale Physics, Faculty of Applied Sciences,
Delft University of technology - status at September 2004
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. FLUENT has been primarily used by graduate (MSc) students
    and always as an addition to simulations
    performed by in-house codes
2. GAMBIT has been used by few PhD students for grid generation
    for unstructured numerical codes.

       number of grid points: 2x10^4 - 2x10^6
       examples:
       flow in a combustor, flow over the two-dimensional hill, 
mutiple-impinging jets;
