If you’re a fan of head-to-head comparisons of CFD codes, this week’s CFD news includes Resolved Analytics’ look at Fluent vs. STAR-CCM+. And if you’re a fan of hard-hitting comparisons of CAD software, you’ll find a look at SolidWorks vs. Onshape. And if you prefer reading about CFD results, there are plenty of applications this week including the aerodynamics of a cyclists shown here from the paper by Blocken et al. Continue reading
Lots of good and longish reads are included in this week’s rundown of CFD news. One of these longish articles shares the results of Engineering.com’s Test and Simulation Survey. For you programmers is an article about whether object-oriented programming is just a horrible mistake. Shown here is an image of a video wall of a simulation of fundamental turbulent flow behavior done at Imperial College. 
Join Pointwise in Hamburg on 12 November 2019 for a workshop on mesh generation for marine applications. We will demonstrate meshing for two marine benchmark cases: the Potsdam propeller and the KCS hull. The workshop is free to attend but registration is required.
Join Pointwise in Munich on 14 November 2019 for a workshop on mesh generation for internal and external aerodynamics of automobiles. We will demonstrate meshing for the DrivAer benchmark case and an intake manifold. The workshop is free to attend but registration is required. 
As is predictable after skipping a week, this week’s CFD news is bursting at the seams with a two-week backlog of applied CFD, software releases. job postings, event news and more. Notable are a video teaser of Simcenter’s Screenplay, bio-mimicry in the use of tubercles on wing leading edges, and a survey on CAD usage that’s worth your time to take. Shown here is a SimScale simulation of wind modelling in an urban environment.
I have lived in Frisco, Texas all of my life with my mom, dad, and two younger brothers. With so many boys in the house, sports was an integral part of my family. I spent the majority of my life playing football and baseball, and I still love watching both as often as I can. Ever since I was a kid, I was completely entranced by aircraft. I’ve always known that Aerospace Engineering was the career path for me. After graduating high school, I began attending 
In this last post of our series on Carl Selinger’s book Stuff You Don’t Learn in Engineering School, our summer interns (Cade, Cannon, and Patrick) and I discuss the book’s last five chapters: Ethics in the Workplace, Developing Leadership Skills, Adapting to the Workplace, Dealing with Stress and Having Fun, and Taking Action and Summing Up.
