CFD-08. CFD Aerodynamics. Compressible flow.
In this new entry on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) we are going to simulate the external aerodynamics of a NACA 0012 airfoil. For this study we will also use Acusolve with Hypermesh and Hyperworks CFD preprocessors. In this field of CFD studies, Acusolve has a particularly extensive documentation and validation. The geometry of the profile […]
CFD-07. Turbulence Grid. Optimisation.
In this entry on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) we are going to study a cylinder system common in flow conditioning. This example shows how the geometry of a device could be optimised to achieve a flow with the necessary properties for certain processes. For this study we will use Acusolve software with Hyperworks CFD as […]
CFD-06. Inverted flow. Turbulence model.
In this post on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) we are going to perform a common benchmark of CFD analysis, the study of inverted flow after a step. It reflects the importance of choosing the right turbulence model in CFD simulations. We will use the Acusolve software with the Hyperworks CFD pre-processor. This study also has […]
CFD-05. Processor cooling. Boundary layer.
We continue with the posts related to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In this case we are going to carry out a benchmark of a common example in thermal analysis using CFD, the study of the cooling of a processor. We will use Acusolve with the pre-processor Hyperworks CFD. The case study can be seen in […]
CFD-04. Fire and Smoke Evacuation Simulation
In this fourth post on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) we are going to study the evacuation of smoke in a garage when a vehicle bursts into flames. For this fire simulation case we will use the Fire Dynamics Simulator software together with the BlenderFDS add-on that allows us to use the Blender software for the […]
CFD-03. Vortex shedding. Transient Analysis.
In this third post related to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) we will look at a classic example of transient analysis: vortex shedding in the wake of a cylinder. We will again use Acusolve solver with its pre-processor, Hyperworks CFD. We are going to study the flow around a cylinder with a Reynolds number close to […]
CFD-02. Acusolve Workflow. Basic Tutorial and Interface.
In this second entry related to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) we will use a simple example to illustrate the working method and the fundamental concepts of this type of simulations. We will use the Acusolve solver together with its pre-processor, Hyperworks CFD. The case study is a mixing elbow. We have a main cold water […]
