Application: CFD Streamlines Fan Design for New Marine Corps Amphibious Vehicle
Posted Fri February 11, 2005 @05:18PM
 Print version Email story Tweet story
Application By the end of the decade, the Marines will go into combat riding in General Dynamics Amphibious Systems’ new Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) — a hybrid tank/boat designed to carry 17 combat equipped marines and a three-person crew over both land and sea at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.

The contract to improve the environmental control system (ECS) that circulates and cools the cabin air was won by Fairchild Controls Corp. The company has been supplying sophisticated pneumatic, hydraulic and cooling systems to the aerospace and defense industries for 40 years.

The challenge was to improve airflow and minimize operational noise while remaining within a strict budget. In order to meet the deadline for delivering combat-ready EFVs in 2008, Fairchild Controls also needed to design, test and qualify the improved ECS in just 14 months.

Problems with Fluent Initialization
Posted Thu February 03, 2005 @05:00PM
 Print version Email story Tweet story
Help Desk marta writes "Hi everybody,

I’m working with Fluent and I need to split my mesh of a strange pipe into two parts. The problem now is that I would like to use the Initialization section with Patch, to initialize the entrance of the second pipe with the data coming from the outlet of the first pipe already calculated.

Does anybody know if it’s possible to do so? My problem is that the more I read about the Patch option the more it seems that only a value can be specified for an entire region.

Thanks for your help"
