There's something for everyone this month, with a CFD simulation of a solar panel, a couple of new articles, and 3 new blog posts. In other news, have you noticed our new slogan? We've replaced our long serving slogan Computer-Aided Engineering for All with Computational Fluid Dynamics for All, which we feel better reflects our reason for being.

CFD for Solar Panels

Solar panels are solid-state, right? No moving parts and certainly no fluid flow - unless you count the rivers of electrons flowing in a semi-conductor. So what role is there for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)? Once installed, how can you be sure that those brackets holding the panels in place are strong enough? Or even if your roof is strong enough to cope with the wind loading on the solar panels? Remain calm, CFD is here to help in the form of Caedium Professional. Read more >>

Convection and Heat Transfer

Heat transfer plays a primary role in the design of electronics cooling and Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Heat transfer also plays an important role in many other applications, such as gas turbines, heat exchangers, brakes, and even people. Read more >>
