This Week in CFD

Hard to believe it's already December and 11/12ths of a year's worth of CFD is behind us. And with the holidays looming, it's uncertain how many more editions of This Week in CFD are ahead of us.

As my Zen friends would say, do not replay the past, do not rehearse the future, be fully present in this moment. 

And with that, here's what you can find in today's roundup of CFD news and notes.

1. Excellent article and simulations of a realistic F-1 car done by a graduate student. (Prediction: Success is in this student's future.)
2. While the F-1 article has some great visualizations (with animation), the image of the week is a beautiful portrayal of a shock wave impacting a water column.
3. AIAA published their workforce study for the aerospace and defense industry and it's chock full of insights that will serve the industry veteran as well as the soon to be hired.
4. Five - count 'em - five brief videos introducing you to the upgrades to the automatic surface meshing capabilities in Cadence Pointwise Meshing V18.5, released only a couple weeks ago.
