Influence of CFD Technology on London Olympic Games

Many of you may already have detailed knowledge of the use of CFD in your area of expertise, but it is not often that as a CFD community we can all unite in appreciation of a common group of applications that we can all relate to. With the London 2012 Olympic Games fast approaching, we felt...

Tips & Tricks: Turbulence Part 2 - Wall Functions and Y+ requirements

Note: this is an old post. The updated post series from 2020 is LEAP's 3-Part Series on "What y+ should I use in my simulations?" which is available here: Part 1 – Understanding the physics of boundary layers Part 2 – Resolving each region of the boundary layer Part 3 – Understanding impact of Y+...

Learn from the Expert: Turbulence Training with Dr. Florian Menter

Dr. Menter is a world-recognised expert in turbulence modelling.

He developed the widely used Shear-Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model, which has set a milestone in the accurate prediction of aerodynamic flows. He has also contributed to the formulation of one-equation turbulence models, advanced near wall treatment of turbulence equations, transition modelling and unsteady flow models. He has been in charge of the turbulence modelling program at ANSYS for more than 15 years and has been involved in a wide range of industrial modelling challenges.
