Predicting Aerodynamic Flow Physics Around Automotive Vehicles
Posted Saturday September 10 at 8:21pm
Predicting aerodynamic flow physics around automotive vehicles is a complex endeavor, often leaving the engineer with the need to balance cost and accuracy. While steady-state approaches (such as RANS) are attractive for their low computational cost, they usually fail to predict all flow phenomena correctly, especially so in the presence of strong wakes like the ones found in automotive aerodynamics.

Cadence Design Systems will host a live webinar on Wednesday September 21 describing several approaches to external automotive simulation and comparing solution fidelity.

Modeling Unsteadiness in Turbomachinery with the Non-Linear Harmonic Method
Posted Sunday August 7 at 2:47pm
Due to its high complexity, unsteady flow in turbomachinery often generates high levels of noise, low efficiency, vibrations, and increased fuel consumption. Those are the most typical challenges engineers try to tackle through CFD analyses when creating new designs or optimizing existing ones for rotating machinery.

On Wednesday August 31st, Cadence Design Systems will host the live webinar Modeling Unsteadiness with the Non-Linear Harmonic Method which is a way to avoid time consuming full-unsteady simulation.
