Summer is over and students have returned to school. That includes our summer 2019 interns. But before leaving us, they produced some great work that you’ll all experience for yourself in future versions of Pointwise. From coding to scripting to testing, Cannon, Cade, and Patrick accomplished a lot this summer.

On October 1st, join Pointwise and Applied CCM for a live webinar in which we explore the effect of meshing strategy on simulation efficiency and accuracy for an FDA benchmark case involving a centrifugal blood pump. Performance of a multiblock structured grid and a hybrid unstructured mesh are compared with flow solutions computed using the Caelus flow solver.
The last two weeks of CFD news have produced a plethora of cool CFD applications from flow over landing gear to turbulence interacting with shock waves to HVAC as shown here (an ANSYS Discovery Live simulation from Leap Australia). Plus, I ask you to ponder and share what simulation tech is most important for aerospace.
I grew up on the south coast of the UK, in a small sleepy village called 
This week’s CFD news is dominated by applications of all sorts, from cars, cars, cars, to boats, filtration (Vee Bee’s strainer shown here), rockets, ducting, and skyscrapers. There’s also plenty of event news from CAESES, Metacomp, OpenFOAM, ENGYS, and Pointwise (of course). 
It is a relatively simple concept: the higher a mesh’s fidelity, the more accurate the solution, and the more accurate the solution, the lower the program uncertainty and expense. As with many such concepts, however, implementation is not so simple or easy. Read more about how high-order, curved meshes are contributing to higher fidelity CFD. 
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. RSS Feed
