Discover Fine Marine v11.2 with LNG Carrier Simulation, Automatic Foils Set-up, and More

The latest version of Fine Marine is out, and I'd like to share some of its main highlights. The modeling capabilities of multi-domain projects have been extended, enabling initialization of the fluid properties and independently defining the initial location of the free surface for each domain in the project. The C-Wizard can now automatically set up a matrix of computations with cavitation and/or transition. This extended application is available in batch mode and is aimed specifically at foil simulations. READ MORE

I'm Josh Strodtbeck and This Is How I Mesh

I first dipped my toes in industrial CFD at Rolls-Royce in 2006, when I did an LES simulation as an intern, and I’ve been growing professionally in this space ever since. READ MORE

Particle Counters and the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need to understand the transmission mechanisms of respiratory viruses. Understanding these mechanisms requires studying three broad fronts: identifying virus transmission paths, learning how the virus circulates, and experimentally validating these transmission and circulation models. Before the spread of COVID-19, in preparation for an anticipated influenza pandemic, the scientific community had already shown that the short-range aerosol route is an important, though often neglected, virus transmission path.

28 Feb: Simulating Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) with Fidelity

Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) modeling is a fundamental step in the design process of turbomachinery. Highly variable pressure and temperature gradients affect not only efficiency and performance but also the structural integrity of blades. In this CadenceTECHTALK, we introduce Fidelity’s FSI simulation capabilities, describe how geometry deformation can be modeled, and explain its effect on the fluid field. REGISTER TODAY
