Q&A with Douglas: My experiences working with ETNZ in leadup to the 2021 America's Cup
Q&A with Douglas Weber-Steinhaus from Ansys to learn about his experiences working with ETNZ in Auckland in the leadup to the 2021 America's Cup (which starts next week!)
F1 in Schools spotlight - Team Hydron racing into 2021 National Finals
F1 in Schools Spotlight: After achieving great success at the 2020 Virtual Victorian State Finals where they placed first overall and were awarded 11 of 13 category awards including Best Engineered and the Innovation Award, Team Hydron describe the many hours of CFD testing and design conducted by their engineering team, supported by LEAP Australia and Ansys.
Do you smell what I smell? How nasal geometry affects airflow dynamics
A recent CFD study examines the relationship between nasal shape and the turbulence of airflow in the nose to help better understand olfaction and improve nasal drug delivery.
How to Improve Pump Efficiency through CFD Simulations
In order to improve pump efficiency, pump designers require fine-grain insights into complex fluid dynamics within a pump to help them identify areas that can be refined to reduce losses during pump operation. In this example, we look at the workflow to improve an existing pump’s design without requiring the original CAD drawings – instead using scanned data of an existing pump design.
Guest Blog by MMS: Aero Mapping for Formula-SAE using CFD
Monash Motorsport has been designing Formula Student cars with wings and diffusers for many years, but this process has been fast-tracked through greater automation of Ansys CFD simulations to help the team gather more simulation data points & generate a comprehensive aero map to analyse the impact of changes in vehicle roll, yaw, steer and ride height.
Dynamic CFD Simulations for Rail Tunnel Ventilation
Ensuring adequate ventilation is a critical challenge when designing rail tunnels. How can CFD be used to accurately size the ventilation fans while accounting for the movement of trains through tunnels at high speeds?
A working example of a Simulation-enabled Digital Twin
Is your company developing a Digital Twin strategy? LEAP’s engineers have created working examples of a Simulation-based Digital Twin in action - a real-time, virtual replica of your equipment constantly updated through IoT data that provides you with:
- insight into real-time performance using extra Virtual Sensor outputs
- data to assess machine health & identify possible failure conditions
- actionable data to enable predictive maintenance & avoid costly downtime.
Student teams are ground zero for next-generation of simulation engineers
Congratulations to Emirates Team New Zealand for hitting major milestones in the leadup to the 36th America's Cup
Highlights from the official launch of ETNZ's Boat 1 "Te Aihe" including insights from the sailors and CEO about the development of their AC75 class foiling monohull, along with early footage of their first foil during first day's sailing.
