In this first edition of This Week in CFD for the new year we find several job openings including some at Pointwise, both permanent positions and internships. There are also long reads about designers’ use of simulation and the criticality of meshing to CFD. Plus you’ll see an article about a NASA simulation of the side-by-side rotorcraft shown here in this beautiful flowfield visualization. Continue reading

It’s the last week of CFD for 2018 and what a week it has been. In addition to several CFD jobs being opened and events announced, you still have a chance to make it to San Diego next weekend for the 2nd Geometry and Mesh Generation Workshop. There are also several case studies of very cool CFD applications that you’re certain to find enjoyable. And here we have one of the coolest images of a 
I sure could use some help. I’ve taken on a gargantuan task that’s beyond any single person’s ability. OK, maybe just beyond my ability and my capacity. What I’d like to do is crowd-source a literature search for advancements in geometry modeling and mesh generation for CFD in the period 2014-2019. 
At last month’s Pointwise User Group Meeting, several meshes competed for the coveted Meshy Award, the award that recognizes the mesh generated in Pointwise that best exhibits a combination of artistry and technical skill. The panel of judges reviewed and deliberated on all the meshes before settling on a winner. 
The backlog of CFD news is shrinking but old news doesn’t imply dull news. For example, AI, machine learning, and quantum computing all make an appearance this week. And there’s more hardware news than normal, probably because of the recent SC18 event. [Why did they stop calling it Supercomputing?] And we start with this very cool image from CFD Consultants of heating, mesh, and geometry in an engine compartment.
How impactful has the CFD 2030 Vision Study been on the CFD world? I think AIAA just made its impact official by forming the CFD 2030 Integration Committee to foster and promote the 2030 vision. RSS Feed
