Researchers at UT-Austin are studying flow structures to understand what causes the complex process in the transition to turbulence. […]
Researchers at University of Colorado developing supersonic UAV that’s fast, economical, and fuel-efficient It’s small. It’s fuel-efficient. It’s reasonably priced. And it’s fast. Supersonic fast. It is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will fly at speeds approaching Mach 1.4 and faster than anything in the sub-50 kg vehicle category today, using an engine two to four times more efficient than any other in its class. Under development by researchers […]
An energy engineer and Master’s degree candidate works to solve a problem common to many companies: how to keep business data safe while maximizing server and cooling equipment efficiencies. Dana Etherington utilized Tecplot 360, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program, to address this issue. The Challenge Companies rely on servers in their data centers to store and protect information that is critical to running their business: email, financial, customer and […]
The Flow Simulations and Analysis Group at George Washington University analyzes the physics of complex flows using numerical simulations. In this case study the team analyzed the fluid dynamics of the dolphin kick, a strategically crucial underwater segment of each lap. […]
University of California Researchers use Tecplot 360 CFD visualization software to help identify vortex abnormalities
In 1960, Dr. Albert Starr successfully implanted the world’s first prosthetic heart valve, a mechanical device that he co-invented with M. Lowell Edwards, a prominent engineer. More than 50 years later… […]
Researchers use Tecplot 360 and CFD to Determine Feasibility of Hydrodynamically-attached Biotelemetry Tags We share a world inhabited by billions of fascinating creatures, few of which receive as much attention and universal affection as the dolphin. As magnificent, playful swimmers, they can propel themselves at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour through a watery world that is very different from our own. There is much these intelligent animals […]
Pioneering simulation methods should aid device development and evaluation, and could eventually lead to personalized devices […]
Contributed by Dr. Haibo Dong Manager, Wright State University, http://www.wright.edu/ For the first time in history, researchers have been able to create a detailed 3D numerical simulation of a dragonfly in free flight. On the left is a high-speed movie of a dragonfly taking off. The black spots on the wing are 0.5mm ink markers that help track exact wing positions when creating the 3D shapes using films shot from […]
