Case Studies, Civil Engineering, Tecplot 360 June 25, 2002

Contributed by Dr. Sundar Prasad, Senior Analyst, Coastal & Ocean Engineering Group Sandwell Engineering, Inc., Vancouver, B.C. The crest of a wave reaches the forward legs of a platform in the figure below. Data visualization is a key component in post processing results from Sandwell’s numerical models. Tecplot quickly allows them to represent large quantities of data in a form that can be understood easily. This layout shows how the […]

Plot of the month: External truck aerodynamics

Automotive, Case Studies, Energy, Environmental, Tecplot 360 November 14, 2001

Contributed by Dr. Ilhan Bayraktar Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA External truck aerodynamics animation Models such as this will lead to modifications that increase fuel efficiency by minimizing drag force. Reducing drag force will also lessen environmental pollution and improve stability and vehicle control. Dr. Ilhan Bayraktar is a Ph.D. Candidate at Old Dominion University’s Aerospace Engineering Department. His primary research interest is numerical simulation of complex, large-scale flow problems […]
