Research on Carbon Cycling on the Rhode River, a tributary of the West River in Maryland’s Anne Arundel County, is emblematic of the cutting-edge modeling work occurring on the Chesapeake. […]
The Salish Sea Model is a predictive ocean modeling tool for coastal estuarine research, restoration planning, water-quality management, and climate change response assessment. […]
Chris Berger of Portland State University has been using Tecplot for over 25 years, primarily for generating contour plots, animations and x-y graphs that show water quality model predictions. […]
A new case study by Brazilian Tecplot distributor ATS describes their “meticulous analysis” of the aerodynamics of the entire car, including the tradeoffs between top speed, downforce for cornering performance and braking – key components to lower lap times. […]
Tecplot 360 has 10x less time to get to the first picture with the SZL format and more flexibility than Fieldview. Find out why! […]
Paul Ferlemann is an aeronautical engineer and researcher at the Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion Branch (HAPB) of the NASA Langley Research Center. The HAPB performs research to develop advanced technology for hypersonic airbreathing propulsion systems for aerospace vehicles. The focus is on airframe-integrated engine concepts having high performance over a wide range of flight Mach numbers. The Challenge Paul was working with a complex geometry composed of 112 distinct zones. The […]
Chris Nelson is the Chief Scientist for CFD at Innovative Technology Applications Company, LLC. Recently, one of his focuses has been on solving complex problems in jet noise simulation. The Challenge Chris runs his CFD cases on the ITAC computer in Missouri and a host of other remote high performance computing (HPC) systems. The jet noise simulations were mostly run on DOD HPC systems. He generally works from home, so […]
CFD simulations key technique for reducing airframe’s aerodynamic drag “It’s all about increased efficiency,” explained Spencer Fugal when describing the overall benefit his organization derives from its use of Tecplot Chorus. “The software allows us to automate the process of simultaneously comparing the results of different CFD simulations. This greatly accelerates the pace at which we can identify anomalies and validate or disprove our CFD results.” Fugal, a former Boeing […]
Chasing the sun 3000km across the Australian Outback is a grueling test. And doing it in a solar-powered vehicle is an even bigger challenge. But every two years teams from around the world converge on Darwin, Australia, to make the journey to Adelaide in the solar-powered cars they have engineered specifically for the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. The Stanford Solar Car Project, a student-run, nonprofit organization within Stanford University, has […]
Research institute in Germany uses CFD simulations to help design cleaner gas turbine engines. Climate change caused, in part, by heavy airplane traffic is a global concern. In Germany, a group of researchers at the University of Stuttgart’s Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics is working on a project funded by the German Research Foundation and the Research Association for Combustion Engines to improve modern gas turbines by changing the geometry of […]
