Thermal Field Visualization for Uncertainty Quantification
Additive manufacturing (AM) has been permeating the industrial fabrication space for decades. Technologies that encompass AM are vast […]
Tecplot Visualization Helps Understand Chesapeake Bay Carbon Cycling
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. […]
Detecting Problems with Your Water Quality Model Predictions
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. […]
The Stanford Solar Car Project Race for Aerodynamic Efficiency
The Stanford Solar Car Project, a student-run, nonprofit organization within Stanford University, has been designing and building solar cars since 1989, and arrives in Darwin every two years with a stunning new vehicle. […]
CFD Simulations Help Design Cleaner Gas Turbine Engines
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 […]
Visualizing Vortices in Fluid Flow Past a Wall Mounted Cube
Researchers at U.S. Naval Academy and George Mason University use Tecplot 360 to clearly visualize horseshoe vortices in flow over wall mounted cube for first time. If you’ve ever stood on a beach and felt the sandy surface collapse beneath your feet as the waves washed over them, you’ve experienced firsthand the powerful effects of fluid flow. When the waves meet the surface boundaries commonly called your toes and feet, they […]
Building One of the World’s Most Efficient Electric Cars
Tecplot 360 helps Stanford University students optimize design of solar-powered car to compete in the Australian Outback’s World Solar Challenge The sun shines down upon the immense Australian Outback like nowhere else, drenching the land in solar energy that begs to be tapped. Where better to stage the World Solar Challenge, a design competition established to find the world’s most efficient solar-electric car? Every two years, some of the brightest […]
Tecplot 360 Helps Improve Care for Patients in the Area of Speech
“Without Tecplot 360 this work would not be possible,” says Xudong Zheng, Ph.D.1 Dr. Zheng, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maine, contributed this case study about his work. The Significance of This Research According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communications Disorders (NIDCD), voice dysfunction affects approximately 7.5 million people in the U.S. every year.2 Educators have a high incidence of voice dysfunction, and others who […]
Turbulent Flows with a Gas-Liquid Interface
This case study discusses research focused on the study of turbulent flows – heat and gas exchanges at the atmosphere-ocean interface. […]
Making Sense of the Transition to Turbulence
Researchers at UT-Austin are studying flow structures to understand what causes the complex process in the transition to turbulence. […]
