Perform multiphysics CFD simulations that are within 2% of physical experimental results

To simulate fluids or gasses, you might use CFD. To simulate solids, you might use FEA or MBD. To simulate the real world, such as a wind turbine moving through the air, a pure CFD or a separate pure FEA analysis is sometimes not enough. Instead, a multiphysics simulation, or co-simulation, is necessary to ensure …

Simulating the effect of extreme conditions on athletes’ performance

What’s the biggest challenge facing high performance athletes this year at the Tokyo games? For many, the greatest hurdle will be the record heat and humidity levels. We used computer modelling to understand and predict the situation. The temperature in Tokyo this summer has already reached 31°C or 87.8°F and may go higher. It’s a …

Turbocharging CFD with Katana

In the natural world fluids act in harmony with structures, fluids with acoustics, fluids with multibody dynamics, fluids with magnetics, fluids with electrics, and all in a myriad of complex, interactive and very complicated ways. Numerical approximations such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have to grapple with these phenomena; frequently with simplistic empirical models to …
