Guest Blog by USYD Rocketry Team (URT) who use simulation in their development of high-power sounding rockets to compete in the Australian Universities Rocketry Competition (AURC) and Spaceport America Cup. URT was the first Australian team to compete and took first place in the 10,000 ft COTS category with their Silvereye rocket.
For the times when your CFD simulation is diverging or not behaving as expected, we offer a helpful checklist to systematically troubleshoot what is going wrong and successfully tackle the most challenging CFD problems.
This blog series focuses on a common question: What y+ should I use in my simulations? This is the final part (Part 3) in the series – Understanding impact of Y+ and number of prism layers on flow resolution in our CFD simulations
This blog series focuses on a common question: What y+ should I use in my simulations? This is Part 2 in the series – Resolving each region of the boundary layer.
This blog series focuses on a common question: What y+ should I use in my CFD simulations? This first post is designed to help you understand the physics of boundary layers in relation to CFD meshes and Y+ values.
Ensuring adequate ventilation is a critical challenge when designing rail tunnels. How can CFD be used to accurately size the ventilation fans while accounting for the movement of trains through tunnels at high speeds?

In cricket, reverse swing bowling is much talked-about but often misunderstood. Conditions in the much anticipated 2019 Ashes cricket series between Australia and England are expected to be conducive to reverse-swing bowling. Let’s use some CFD examples to help better understand the science of reverse-swing bowling.
We are Horizon, Australia’s lead F1 in Schools team from Brighton Secondary School in South Australia. After years of hard work and dedication, as well… Read More »Guest Blog: LEAP & ANSYS help Horizon on journey to be crowned 2018 F1 In Schools World Champions
