On-Demand Webinar - Reduce Ship Fuel Emissions and Costs Through CFD Optimization

Ship designs are becoming more complex every day, and CFD tools have become commonplace to optimize vessel design and reduce lifetime fuel emissions and costs as much as possible. Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how you can use Fine Marine to analyze and reduce fuel consumption of your ship design through:

• Trim and hull-shape optimization
• Calculating the energy efficiency indices (EEXI and EEDI) and
• Evaluating alternatives to classic propulsion methods and designs

Women in CFD with Shi Yee Lim

The Women in CFD series highlights the career expedition of women in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). For this article, I spoke with Shi Yee Lim, Principle Product Engineer at Cadence, to learn a little about herself, her career journey as a product engineer, and a few tips to the women in or interested in CFD out there!

Making Sustainable Data Center Design Possible with Digital Twins

Cadence has leveraged its computational software expertise and expanded into the realm of systems design and analysis. Cadence’s acquisition of Future Facilities, a pioneer in the data center digital twin space, expands our computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermal analysis portfolio and extends it to data centers. In addition to electronics cooling analysis, Future Facilities’ innovative CFD solutions allow customers to virtualize their data center, creating a 3D digital twin that uses physics-based simulation to accurately analyze their thermal profile, including airflow and cooling. This technology has enabled customers such as Thésée DataCenter, Digital Realty, and Equinix to optimize thermal, power, and capacity efficiencies in the data center, thereby helping reduce their carbon footprint.
