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…
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…
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…
In this month's blog we describe the usage of Python to drive a process of mesh adaption with Caelus and Pointwise. Mesh Adaption can be beneficial in reducing the effort in meshing, whilst increasing coupling between the mesh resolution and…
We are pleased to announce an upcoming mesh adaption webcast coming live on the Applied CCM YouTube channel on Monday 11th November 2019. Details are below. Title: Python, Pointwise and Caelus: CFD driven automatic re-meshing Date/time youTube link live: Monday…
CFD simulations involving three dimensional (3D) complex geometry have become the norm. This hasn't lessened the need for two dimensional (2D) simulations. Sometimes geometry and flow are such that a 2D simulation is the most appropriate approach. An example is…
The next major version of Caelus, 9.04, was released today. This release focused on bring some major libraries inline with the current OpenFOAM release (v6) and improvement to the Caelus Python library. Here’s a summary of the major changes: Updated…
Our inaugural Melbourne Computational Fluid Dynamics Meetup (MCFDM) will consist of two talks on Computational Fluid Dynamics. Melbourne CFD Meetup The agenda is as follows: 5:45pm: Arrival, with refreshments available 6.00pm: Speakers (2) 30 mins each for the presentation and…
Look at the evolution of fluid dynamics and you’ll quickly realize that our understanding of the subject has advanced a great deal in a relatively short space of time. To read the story of American entrepreneur George Westinghouse, his ideas…
