Highlights from SCONA 2023 – CFD of the Nose and Airway

    Our curated highlights from a recent SCONA event (SCONA is the Society for Computational fluid dynamics Of the Nose and Airway) that illustrate the power of using CFD for applications relevant to our understanding of the nose and airway. SCONA 2023 was held recently in Brisbane, Australia.

    Congratulations Team Hydron – 2022 F1 in Schools World Champions!

      Guest blog by Team Hydron – read how Australia’s leading F1 in Schools team used Ansys and KeyShot software suites to elevate their engineering & design process and develop a vehicle that would win the Best Engineered and Fastest Car awards at the 2022 World Finals.

      Guest Blog by ECU-R: Analysing F-SAE Aerodynamic Flow Fields Using CFD

        Guest blog by ECU-Racing on how the team uses CFD simulation to drive aerodynamic design improvements, explaining how CFD simulation results provide help identify problematic aspects such as flow separation, undesirable flow structures, and poor use of flow energy which can then lead to new ideas which can be tested in CFD to improve the overall flow around the car.
