Guest Blog by Adra Group: Increasing Pump System Performance through CFD
In a guest post, Adra Group explains how ANSYS CFD was used to assist Hydro Australia to identify and resolve non-uniform flow issues (into vertical canister pumps) which was causing severe noise and vibration issues and high operating costs.
From tunnel ventilation to thermal comfort on your daily commute: CFD applications in the Rail industry
As you become more immersed in the world of CFD/simulations, you also begin looking around you and identifying more aspects of your everyday life impacted by engineering simulation. Learn how work by engineers in the Rail industry now means your daily commute contains many good examples of how CFD has improved both your comfort and safety.
Innovation and ingenuity lead Team New Zealand to America’s Cup victory
LEAP and ANSYS congratulates Emirates Team New Zealand for their remarkable victory in the 2017 America’s Cup. More info on some of the unheralded innovations and ingenuity behind this engineering and sporting triumph.
Swapping Fuel for More Beer on your next Caravan Holiday
Caravan owners are well aware that the speed they drive at and the shape of their caravan can greatly affect fuel consumption.
In partnership with Caravan World magazine, we've taken a closer look into the performance of caravans with the aid of CFD, including some less obvious factors that can help shave off the drag on your caravan and improve fuel consumption.
An Increasing Appetite for Innovation in the Food Industry
Companies in the food & beverage industries looking to grow their business are implementing new technologies, such as simulation, to enable their engineers to develop new products and implement process innovations necessary to provide efficiencies of scale. Here are 7 ways that food & beverage manufacturers can harness cutting-edge simulation technology.
IoT sensors identify your product is operating ‘out of spec’. What next? Some lessons from the Avalon Airshow
The timing is right for the concept of Digital Twin to be embraced by Australian industry and defence. Learn how it has been made possible by the convergence of multiple trends, encompassing IoT data, big data analytics and ongoing advances in engineering software.
ANSYS simulation workflow for pump systems – a fascinating webinar
We encounter pumps in our everyday life in all manner of applications, be it in our dishwasher or car; or indirectly in water supply, oil pipelines, cooling water pumps and many more applications. In fact, the very significant fraction of the world’s energy used for pumping may well surprise you - and therefore the potential opportunity for improved pump design to deliver big savings (both in dollars as well as greenhouse gas emissions), a point which hit home to me this week when I watched a recent webinar on using ANSYS 17.0 to model and optimise pumps and other turbomachinery. At LEAP, our engineers watch many different webinars but I found this one particularly captivating as it clearly showed the entire pump design process from start to finish: starting...
Recent advances in Multiphase Flow Modelling
What's changed in the world of multiphase flow modelling in the past 2-3 years? As always, an understanding of the physics of the system that you are modelling remains the number one priority, however, a number of new developments will help you address a wider range of multiphase flows and in a faster and more effective way.
Using CFD to stop overheating of electronics and electrical equipment
Simulation technology allows us to accurately predict the thermal performance of electronics/electrical equipment during early design stages, giving engineers the confidence that thermal failures in the field (and the adverse warranty issues they may bring) can be considered a thing of the past.
