CFD Visualization Helps Protect Integrity of Buildings, Bridges, and Ships
November 2010 When Adam Hapij, senior associate at the structural engineering firm Weidlinger Associates, recently visited his son’s kindergarten class, he tried to explain what he does in a way a 5-year-old could comprehend. In the end, he simply said, “I protect people.” Indeed, at its very core, Hapij’s job is to protect people. Since Weidlinger opened for business more than half a century ago, the company has designed all […]

Studying the Complex Flow Physics of Dragonfly Flight
Contributed by Dr. Haibo Dong Manager, Wright State University For the first time in history, researchers have been able to create a detailed 3D numerical simulation of a dragonfly in free flight. On the left is a high-speed movie of a dragonfly taking off. The black spots on the wing are 0.5mm ink markers that help track exact wing positions when creating the 3D shapes using films shot from different […]
Using Visualization for Faster Understanding of Noise Issues
Contributed by Shen Heping, Software Development Manager, Hong Yuan Tech. Cars that ride more quietly. Higher-quality acoustics in auditoriums. Aircraft that meet or noise pollution regulations. These are just a few examples of how scientists and engineers can develop more comfortable, enjoyable, or environmentally-sound products by studying the source and distribution of noise. The ability to actually see the noise distribution or what’s going on around the noise source helps […]
