Chris Berger of Portland State University has been using Tecplot for over 25 years, primarily for generating contour plots, animations and x-y graphs that show water quality model predictions. […]
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 […]
Contributed by Sylvain Gravel Hydro-Québec The Challenge: Accurately Visualizing Magnetic Flux Density In working with electrical power production and distribution, a key problem faced is being able to see the unseen – in other words, how does one view invisible electrical and magnetic forces at play? Hydro-Québec needed to be able to see magnetic flux density near a distribution power line, which is essentially understanding the power flow in the […]
Using numerical simulation models to predict the flow of sedimentation and erosion on water quality at lake and reservoir bottoms. […]
Contributed by Eric Jal, Sr. Engineer, Energy Div. Connell Wagner, Melbourne, Australia Ventilation is a key design factor for the new Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Using PHOENICS to optimize the design, CFD and Tecplot have been used to analyze air movement within the building and in external areas. In this image we see relative changes in air movement patterns across the pitch due to the construction of the new Northern […]
