To understand 1D-3D CFD and 3D-1D CFD, we have reviewed the history of attempts at both loose and close coupling of 1D and 3D CFD codes, the motivations of engineers who did it, and the benefits to be ...

A common issue with modeling complex 1D systems is adding the required detail for complex components that cannot easily be represented through correlations or empirical data. To get the data for these ...

Air-to-air refueling systems have to take into account fueling rates, flight stability and the risk of unintended disconnects. Talk about a tough CFD problem. Air-to-air refueling systems have to take ...

CFD was once the exclusive realm of analysts with deep theoretical backgrounds and extensive experience. While those analysts still rule the realm, they’re no longer alone. The growth of early (often ...

Mentor Graphics seems to be hammering on two messages with its latest enhancement to its portfolio of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation tools: The continuing importance of upfront systems ...

Have you ever looked at a modern aircraft and wondered how it flies so efficiently and safely? Engineers achieve this by understanding precisely how air flows over every surface. They use a powerful ...
