Have you ever wondered what a complete Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of a dust collector will reveal? Well wonder no more! Last month you saw the CFD analysis for each component of a dust collector and this month you can see the CFD analysis of a fully assembled dust buster. Of course while you are running your own dust buster CFD simulation you'll want to check in on its progress wherever your schedule takes you, so be sure to read the article on remote CFD. Then, round out your fluids-themed day with some light relief - did you know that we renamed the Navier-Stokes equations for April Fools'? You do now!

CFD For A Complete Dust Collector

Having performed CFD simulations for each component of Matthias Wandel's "Small Dust Collector," the time has come to assemble and test the entire system - virtually, of course. Recall that the main components of the dust collector are a cyclone, a filter assembly, and a blower. Read more >>

Remote CFD is Easy

You know how it is - you are away from the office and you are desperate to check in on a series of CFD simulations you are running back at your base. Then once the simulations finish you'd like to take a moment to look at each one with all the benefits of hardware accelerated graphics on your laptop, while still enjoying your latte at Starbucks. Well you can do both today without any extra outlay using Caedium and free apps from Google - let me describe how. Read more >>

Navier-Stokes Equations Renamed

The International Equation Naming Organization (IENO) has renamed the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler-Navier-Cauchy-Poisson-Saint-Venant-Stokes equations or ENComPaSS for short. You will no doubt recall that the ENComPaSS equations are the foundation on which much of modern day fluid dynamics is based, including CFD, so this is indeed a momentous event. Read more >>

Navier-Stokes Equations NOT Renamed

I'm sure you saw right through my April Fools' jolly jape and realized that the Navier-Stokes equations have not been renamed. Read more >>
