Modeling 3D Geothermal System
Modeling a unique Geothermal System With Complex 3D Flow presented several challenges. The first was determining flow rate and temperature of the geothermal reservoir and the regional flow system. […]
Visualizing Vortices in Fluid Flow Past a Wall Mounted Cube
Researchers at U.S. Naval Academy and George Mason University use Tecplot 360 to clearly visualize horseshoe vortices in flow over wall mounted cube for first time. If you’ve ever stood on a beach and felt the sandy surface collapse beneath your feet as the waves washed over them, you’ve experienced firsthand the powerful effects of fluid flow. When the waves meet the surface boundaries commonly called your toes and feet, they […]
Tecplot 360 Helps Improve Care for Patients in the Area of Speech
“Without Tecplot 360 this work would not be possible,” says Xudong Zheng, Ph.D.1 Dr. Zheng, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maine, contributed this case study about his work. The Significance of This Research According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communications Disorders (NIDCD), voice dysfunction affects approximately 7.5 million people in the U.S. every year.2 Educators have a high incidence of voice dysfunction, and others who […]
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. […]
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. […]
Data Center 2D Temperature and Flow Analysis Utilizing CFD
An energy engineer and Master’s degree candidate works to solve a problem common to many companies: how to keep business data safe while maximizing server and cooling equipment efficiencies. Dana Etherington utilized Tecplot 360, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program, to address this issue. The Challenge Companies rely on servers in their data centers to store and protect information that is critical to running their business: email, financial, customer and […]
Analyzing the Dolphin Kick of Top Olympic Competitors
The Flow Simulations and Analysis Group at George Washington University analyzes the physics of complex flows using numerical simulations. In this case study the team analyzed the fluid dynamics of the dolphin kick, a strategically crucial underwater segment of each lap. […]
Tecplot 360 helps advance design of biotelemetry tags for dolphins
Researchers use Tecplot 360 and CFD to Determine Feasibility of Hydrodynamically-attached Biotelemetry Tags We share a world inhabited by billions of fascinating creatures, few of which receive as much attention and universal affection as the dolphin. As magnificent, playful swimmers, they can propel themselves at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour through a watery world that is very different from our own. There is much these intelligent animals […]
