An increasing number of industrial CFD users are recognising the need to move away from RANS modelling and resolve a greater spectrum of turbulence (particularly in cases involving large-scale separation, strongly swirling flows, acoustics, etc.). Here we present an overview of Scale Resolving Simulation techniques and important considerations when considering applying SRS to your project.
LEAP staff, in particular our team of CFD engineers, have been watching with interest as the 2013 America’s Cup unfolds in San Francisco. Despite being the oldest active trophy in international sport, the America’s Cup is continually evolving thanks to an often dramatic combination of …
This week marked the public release of Elon Musk’s much anticipated proposal for a new mode of high-speed transport to be built between LA and San Francisco, dubbed… Read More »5 key areas where ANSYS Multiphysics will help overcome the engineering challenges of Elon Musk’s Hyperloop
