Tail Strake Position Optimization for Generic Transport Aircraft
Engineers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) found that the visualization component was crucial in understanding flow effects of the transport aircraft they were designing. […]
Multiple Domains, Multiple Scales, One Visualization Tool
Simulating groundwater-surface water interaction in complex topography such as hummocky terrain has traditionally been viewed as a significant challenge to the hydrologic modelling community. […]
Modeling 3D Geothermal System
Modeling a unique Geothermal System With Complex 3D Flow presented several challenges. The first was determining flow rate and temperature of the geothermal reservoir and the regional flow system. […]
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. […]
Predictive Ocean Model Helps Coastal Estuarine Research
The Salish Sea Model is a predictive ocean modeling tool for coastal estuarine research, restoration planning, water-quality management, and climate change response assessment. […]
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. […]
Improving Stock Car Performance with CFD Analysis
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. […]
Using a File Format that Loads CFD Data 10 Times Faster
Tecplot 360 has 10x less time to get to the first picture with the SZL format and more flexibility than Fieldview. Find out why! […]
PyTecplot for Tecplot Scripting
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 […]
Tecplot’s SZL Server, a Client-Server Solution for Visual Analysis of Remote Data
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 […]
