The document provides an internally compltete set of guidelines for a range of single phase applications of CFD to NRS problems. However, it is not meant to be comprehensive. The document should provide direct guidance on the key considerarions in known single phase applications, as nodalization, model selection and validation, and general directions for resolving renmaining details. It is intended to serve as a template for further applicationb specific BPG documents.
