Introduction to Finite Element Analysis

Modelos de Elementos Finitos - Tipo de Elemento

Finite element analysis is an approximate numerical solution applicable to a wide range of engineering problems. Applications range from the simulation of structures and mechanical systems in different fields such as aeronautics, naval or civil industry, to the analysis of heat flow fields, fluids or CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), magnetics, … The application of the […]

CFD-09. Curved channel flow. SST turbulence model.

Simulación del flujo por un canal curvo

In this post on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) we begin a series of posts dedicated to studies where flow turbulence plays a fundamental role. In this first example we study the flow through a curved channel, where the SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model may be applied. As shown in the picture, we will use […]

CFD-03. Vortex shedding. Transient Analysis.

Resultados de una simulación CFD transitoria

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 […]
