December 2016: Holiday Season For CFD
Holiday season is with us once again. Just in case you were wondering what to get the CFDer who has everything, then check out our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) themed gifts. I hope this holiday season sees you with some spare time. If so consider reading up on how intuition and fluid dynamics are often difficult partners. Also, find out why there are so many different turbulence models and which ones might be worth considering for your application. Whatever you choose to do, we wish you all the best for the holidays and the New Year.
Perfect Gifts for CFDers
Having previously determined how Santa makes his deliveries using a Reality Distortion Field, now we have also figured out how he selects the perfect gifts for each and every CFDer. Read more >>
Intuition and Fluid Dynamics
Some fluid dynamics is intuitive, e.g., the water flow along a pipe, where what goes in one end comes out the other. However, most applications no matter how simple are anything but intuitive, e.g., the drag of a ball moving through air. Read more >>
Turbulence Model Selection
Most CFD software provides an array of turbulence models. Knowing which model to select is not always an easy decision given trade offs between accuracy and computing requirements. Read more >>
