Alain Lefebvre from Renault talks about how they used Cadence CFD software to increase the efficiency of engine water pumps, an important feat in the fight to reduce CO2 emissions of vehicles where maximum optimization of every consuming part of the engine counts.

Beyond the beauty and taste of dripping chocolate, explore the history and physics of a non-Newtonian chocolate fountain.

This year’s NASA Turbulence Modeling Symposium is being held in honor of Philippe Spalart and his contributions to the turbulence modeling field. The symposium will bring together both academic and industrial perspectives.

Cadence is looking forward to meeting with you at the 'Lunch and Learn' and 'Women in Engineering' sessions at ASME Turbomachinery Expo 2022. Seats are limited! Register today to ensure your spot.

Cadence Fidelity CFD offers AutoSeal technology, a geometry clean-up tool for faster results for multiple design tests, reducing the time to meshing towards an efficient design process.

On June 8th and 9th, it is CadenceLIVE Americas. It is planned to be in-person at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley and that is already your first important reason to join us! We are finally getting back to face-to-face networking, enjoying wonderful food and drinks, and seizing invaluable opportunities to discuss, learn and share ideas and opinions with colleagues, peers, industry thought leaders and...

Fidelity CFD mesh adaptation technique respects geometry, improves mesh quality, adapts to the near-wall shear layers, and reduces run-time for improved CFD solutions.

Vortex shedding in a helicopter rotor hub can be analyzed and captured precisely using Fidelity CFD overset meshing.

On 19 Apr 2022 we announced Fidelity CFD. As you can imagine, it has dominated my thinking for the past year. To explain Fidelity, here's my conversation with one of the many voices in my head. What is Fidelity? fi·del·i·ty,...

CFD simulations can help control noise emitted by cavitation-infected ship propellers through design optimization techniques to preserve marine life and maintain the underwater ecological balance.

Flow transitions in the S-CO2 Brayton cycle can be easily modeled with high resolution and minimum grid points using Fidelity CFD meshing.

Coupled conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulation using Fidelity CFD allows accurate prediction of heat transfer between solid and fluid domains for advanced thermal management of the entire vehicle.

This year's ASME Turbo Expo Conference aims to accelerate the transition of the energy and propulsion sector to meet a carbon-neutral future by 2050. We look forward to meeting you at our booth!

VFX effects for fluid flow in movies are created using fluid simulation platforms that employ real fluid physics such as the Navier Stokes equation.

On June 28-30 2022, the Maritime Community meets again in Marseille at this biennial meeting of blue growth industrialists. Cadence CFD will be there and is looking forward to meeting you! Visit our booth or book an appointment with one of our experts (link in this article)

The increasing value of the drone industry is pushing the limits of evaluating and improving the aerodynamics of UAVs for enhanced range and extreme maneuvers.

The NLH Rank-n feature unlocks the possibility of simulating unsteady phenomena across a limitless number of turbomachinery rows: engineers can now benefit from more realistic flow assessments, leading to more precise and reliable designs.

Flow solvers must be able to read the type of meshes behind them, and as most flow solvers only accept either structured or unstructured meshes, this is can be a no-win situation. However, within Cadence's Omnis™︎ environment, users can switch between meshing approaches in a single click.

Electric Vehicle (EV) market growth, along with the bourgeoning investments in autonomous driving and infotainment systems that constitute the automotive end market, is a top-line revenue boost for chip manufacturers and suppliers. Alternatives to silicon chips for better performance, faster methods of chip production, and various collaborations or partnerships for efficient EV models are expected to mitigate the perturbation...

Illinois Blower develops and builds custom centrifugal fans and blowers for a variety of worldwide industrial process industries. In order to increase the performance of a centrifugal fan, they performed a 2-phase optimization project using CFD simulation and managed to improve overall performance by 44%. Read here how they did it.

Besides resistance, seakeeping and propulsion, wind loads play an important role in navigation, and wind studies form an essential part of marine engineers' and naval architects' work. Since model tests are expensive and wind tunnel availabilities don't always match project deadlines, CFD simulations become a powerful tool, allowing designers to understand the effects of design changes on their projects quickly and accurately...

It's a sunny 81 degrees here in Fort Worth as I type this and after going outside for a few minutes after lunch I can tell you it's plenty warm. But not warm enough to melt a diamond which is the Image of the Week in our roundup of CFD news. What els...

Creating a detailed CFD model for automotive applications normally requires a huge amount of manual work. Toyota eliminates this work thanks to an innovative CFD pre-processing workflow, and in this on-demand webinar they will show you how. Watch how this allows them to quickly generate models, ready-to-run, with almost no human intervention, drastically reducing simulation turn-around time.

Explore the challenges, changes and emerging opportunities in today’s and tomorrow’s commercial marine and workboat sector at Seawork in Southampton, UK - in person or online. Cadence will be there and is looking forward to meeting you.
