Since their Formula One debut in 2006, Scuderia Toro Rosso have proved themselves one of the brightest new teams http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/06/16/142233&rdf=1 To be a successful CFD engineer, one needs to have a good understanding of physics and expertise with commercial software used in the industry. Because of the exponential growth in computational power and development in numerical algorithms, CFD is becoming a more extensively used virtual simulation technique. http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/06/10/1414221&rdf=1 This tutorial illustrates how to use the rigid body motion feature in EnSight by taking a steady state solution result for a multiple rotating reference model, and adding in motion to the moving bodies. This example uses measured data particles from the solver which, when combined with rigid body motion, http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/06/03/2259258&rdf=1 Reaction Design, the clean technology chemistry leader, today announced a strategic relationship with ANSYS, Inc. The agreement calls for Reaction Design to deliver to ANSYS customers a new ANSYS® FLUENT® optimized version of CHEMKIN-CFD™, an advanced chemistry simulation technology that efficiently and robustly couples accurate chemical kinetics to flow simulations. http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/05/19/2112227&rdf=1 CEI has released a new tutorial Introduction to EnSight CFD, covering some of the basics of EnSight CFD operation, including an overview of the windows and panels, powerful right click menus and click-n-go features. http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/05/13/231219&rdf=1 Pointwise has contracted to work with the U.S. Air Force to improve overset meshing as part of the Air Force’s Small Business Innovation Research program, according to Nick Wyman, Pointwise’s director of Applied Research. Pointwise’s Applied Research Group will work with the Arnold Engineering Development Center to couple Pointwise’s state http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/05/08/1957200&rdf=1 A performance study of ANSYS® FLUENT® 12.0 was conducted between Panasas, the University of Cambridge, and ANSYS to demonstrate the benefits of the new parallel I/O scheme in ANSYS FLUENT. The study compares release 12.0 with 6.3 for solver and data-write timings of industrial CFD models scaled from 16 to http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/04/30/1348230&rdf=1 In its endeavor to push the frontiers of technology, Zeus Numerix (ZN) has created a grid of 4.25 billion cells for the simulation of the RADAR cross section of a generic missile. The 96 GB grid file was created after innovation in fields like storage of files, improvement in data http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/04/22/1555219&rdf=1 Intelligent Light founder Steve Legensky appeared on Microsoft's Inside Out show to discuss high performance computing and CFD simulation. In the video, Steve demonstrates the complex mathematics used by CFD engineers and talks about how HPC has evolved in the CFD industry over the past 20 years. http://www.cfdreview.com/article.pl?sid=09/04/16/164246&rdf=1 Aavid Thermalloy, LLC, a world leader in thermal solutions for cooling electronics, has announced a new service that offers Data Center Cooling Analysis.
