CFD simulations involving 3D complex geometry have become the norm, however, this hasn’t lessened the need for 2D simulations. Sometimes geometry and flow are such that a 2D simulation is the most appropriate approach. 2D meshing In versions of Pointwise…
AFMC (Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference) is held biannually in Australia, and the 22nd AFMC2020 was the latest, held in December 2020. AFMC2020 was organised by Australasian Fluid Mechanic Society (AFMS), and this year predominantly by University of Queensland and Queensland…
This monthly mesh we refer readers to our guest blog “Recombination of Voxel Transition Cells for OpenFOAM meshes”, published on Another Fine Mesh. That article describes a utility (vtCombine) developed by Applied CCM for Caelus that recombines the transition layers in…
This monthly mesh we refer readers to our guest blog "It's all in the numbering - mesh renumbering may improve simulation speed”, published on Another Fine Mesh. We all know that the mesh plays a vital role in CFD simulations. Yet,…
Introduction This monthly mesh we discuss part 2 in a blog series on "Car park Ventilation CFD with Pointwise, Caelus, CFX and FDS". First published in Another Fine Mesh on 27th May 2020, we continue the discussion, in particular, mesh independence.…
This monthly mesh we refer readers to our guest blog “Car park Ventilation CFD with Pointwise, Caelus, CFX and FDS”, published on Another Fine Mesh. Design of covered car parks in Australia requires CFD modeling of carbon monoxide from car exhausts to ensure the…
This monthly mesh we are referring readers to our guest blog "Mesh adaptation with Python, Pointwise and Caelus", published on Another Fine Mesh. Mesh adaptation is one of the NASA 2030 goals and has been one area of research and development…
This is our first blog in the monthly mesh series for 2020, and we hope you enjoy the meshes this year. To start the year off we are focusing on Scripting Structured-Unstructured Meshes for Aerospace with Pointwise, as a lead…
It is with deep regret advise that the Symposium on OpenFOAM Technology 2020 (SOFT) scheduled to take place in Melbourne 22 April has been cancelled. The rapidly changing circumstances relating to COVID-19, combined with the recent implementation of organisational travel…
