On a stormy night in August 1981, a Cessna Centurion 210 aircraft crashed with 5 people on board in Barrington Tops, a rugged and isolated… Read More »Can CFD help to solve Australia’s greatest aviation mystery?
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 …

As part of the visit to Australia by Dr Florian Menter, world-recognised expert in turbulence modelling, LEAP Australia is pleased to announce a webinar to… Read More »Webinar: Recent Advancements in Turbulence Modelling with Dr. Florian Menter
Dr. Menter is a world-recognised expert in turbulence modelling.
He developed the widely used Shear-Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model, which has set a milestone in the accurate prediction of aerodynamic flows. He has also contributed to the formulation of one-equation turbulence models, advanced near wall treatment of turbulence equations, transition modelling and unsteady flow models. He has been in charge of the turbulence modelling program at ANSYS for more than 15 years and has been involved in a wide range of industrial modelling challenges.
