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 […]
Predicting Broadband Noise in Wind Turbines Using Tecplot 360
Innovative Technology Applications Company, LLC using numerical simulation to examine the flow around wind turbines and accurately identify the acoustic field sources that are associated with the unsteady fluid behavior. […]
Evaluating a prediction study on SO2 plume migration for improved design of a manufacturing facility

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. […]
Designing safer bioprosthetic heart valves with CFD/PIV
University of California Researchers use Tecplot 360 CFD visualization software to help identify vortex abnormalities
In 1960, Dr. Albert Starr successfully implanted the world’s first prosthetic heart valve, a mechanical device that he co-invented with M. Lowell Edwards, a prominent engineer. More than 50 years later… […]
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 […]
A wind turbine CFD solution: Turning up the (green) power with Tecplot 360 and Pointwise
For wind turbine CFD post-processing, automated CFD methods and independent tools help improve efficiency of vertical axis wind turbines, which can ultimately increase market viability of micro power devices […]
Continuum-Dynamics, Inc. Uses Tecplot 360 to Develop First Commercial Ship Air Wake Database for U.S. Navy Helicopter Flight Simulators
Addition of Disturbance Field Creates More Realistic Piloted Simulation Environment for Increased Safety and Lower Training Costs Flying a helicopter has often been compared to balancing on one foot while standing on a beach ball—and that’s just over land. Now imagine balancing on a beach ball that’s on a funhouse floor in the middle of a nor’easter. That’s what a landing at sea can be like. The pilot must put […]
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 […]
