From Atoms to Airplanes
In the world of chemistry and material science, “first principles” means quantum mechanics. Software has been available for some time to compute the electron wave functions from the material composition (the type and location of the atoms in the material). […]
Turbulent Flows with a Gas-Liquid Interface
This case study discusses research focused on the study of turbulent flows – heat and gas exchanges at the atmosphere-ocean interface. […]
Tecplot® RS™ 2013 R1
Tecplot’s reservoir simulation visualization and analysis tool now gives users the ability to identify fault surfaces and display them in 3D grid plots along with grid layers and streamlines. BELLEVUE, WA–July 19, 2013–Tecplot®, Inc. has released a major update for Tecplot® RS™ 2013, the company’s reservoir simulation visualization and analysis tool for oil and gas reservoir modeling. The Release 1 (R1) version gives users the ability to explore the flow […]
Making Sense of the Transition to Turbulence
Researchers at UT-Austin are studying flow structures to understand what causes the complex process in the transition to turbulence. […]
Analyzing turbulence structures for the Air Force
Jeff Chu is under a lot of pressure. He’s a graduate research assistant at The University of Texas Austin, analyzing turbulence by looking at how and where turbulence structures are formed as they flow over various surfaces. […]
Top 5 Reasons to Use Best-in-Class Tools for Design and Optimization
Engineers face highly dimensional problems which require a flexible architecture that integrated solutions often lack. Read this blog for 5 reasons best-in-class tools have the advantage. […]
SU2 Project: Getting it Installed
Recently, I heard that Stanford University released an open-source CFD solver called SU2. I was very excited to give SU2 a go. […]
Bringing More Excitement to Auto Racing with Mushroom-Busting Designs
Tecplot Chorus Helps Swift Engineering Inc. Change Mushroom-shaped Wakes on Formula Race Cars to Make Passing Easier and Auto Racing More Exciting The race does not always go to the swift, especially when it’s Formula auto racing, where the wake of a race car can be turbulent enough to prevent others from passing it, no matter how fast they’re going. “That can make it pretty boring to watch, as well,” […]
Supersonic Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Close To Becoming Reality
Researchers at University of Colorado developing supersonic UAV that’s fast, economical, and fuel-efficient It’s small. It’s fuel-efficient. It’s reasonably priced. And it’s fast. Supersonic fast. It is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will fly at speeds approaching Mach 1.4 and faster than anything in the sub-50 kg vehicle category today, using an engine two to four times more efficient than any other in its class. Under development by researchers […]
