Construct Unstructured Block Assembly with Fidelity Pointwise - There are many ways to create an unstructured volume mesh in Pointwise. One of them is a bottom-up technique called Assemble with which you create the block (the mesh topology entity that holds the volume mesh) by identifying all the surface meshes on its boundaries. This article provides an overview of how to use the Assemble command.
How to Tackle Cavitation in Pump and Propeller Designs with CFD - Cavitation is a complex phenomenon that can make a propeller operate unstably and noisily. This article describes how CFD can help understand the conditions under which your propeller will cavitate and how to redesign the prop to minimize that problem.
This Week in CFD #483 - Enjoy this round-up of CFD news from around the interwebs.
