Here we benchmark Fluent’s new fully-native GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) solver, available since the 2023R1 release, which has delivered impressive numbers on our tests that include both high-end (A100 GPU – over five times faster than a baseline using 80 CPU cores) and standard 8GB GPUs that are probably similar to one you’re already using (still delivering a 3x3x speedup over an 8 core Intel Xeon W-11955M CPU).
Q&A with Wendy Walls whose research and teaching aims to deliver innovative design methodologies for urban open spaces, designed in response to a changing climate. Learn how Wendy’s use of Ansys Discovery has provided an engaging way to teach landscape design students the critical concepts involving airflow and heat transfer in urban design.
Our curated highlights from a recent SCONA event (SCONA is the Society for Computational fluid dynamics Of the Nose and Airway) that illustrate the power of using CFD for applications relevant to our understanding of the nose and airway. SCONA 2023 was held recently in Brisbane, Australia.
Guest Blog explaining the significance of the new Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation (SBES) turbulence approach which makes use of the best available models for both near-wall and far field accuracy, within one single scale-resolving CFD simulation, including a recording of highlights from our recent webinar.
Read how the advanced multiphase capabilities of Ansys Fluent (combining hydrodynamics with mass transfer and chemical reaction) are being used to model 3D bioreactors and used as inputs to validate simpler 1D models suitable for process design and optimisation using simpler, computationally faster models.
The engineering behind the scenes of Horonuku – the successful attempt by ETNZ to break the wind-powered land speed record, drawing upon experience from engineers across ETNZ whose careers have focused on the complex physics of aerodynamics, dynamics, structural mechanics and composite materials.
Founded in 2018 to participate in the Australian Universities Rocket Competition (AURC), students from the Australian National University’s (ANU) Rocketry team are striving to develop a rocket capable of passing the boundary of outer space and being safely recovered by parachute upon re-entry. This lofty goal has led the team to move away from commercially available solid-fuel propelled rockets to develop their own in-house designed bipropellant liquid-fuel engine, with the help of Ansys aerothermal analysis to predict the heat flux at the space rocket’s leading edges during its hypersonic ascent phase.
Multiphase flows form the basis of many important processes in the mineral processing, metal production, energy and chemical process industries. This guest blog from CSIRO describes how CFD modelling can be used to better understand these industrial processes, improve performance and develop new novel processes. Examples given include gas-liquid, gas-solid and gas-liquid-solid flows.
Guest blog by Team Hydron – read how Australia’s leading F1 in Schools team used Ansys and KeyShot software suites to elevate their engineering & design process and develop a vehicle that would win the Best Engineered and Fastest Car awards at the 2022 World Finals.
Highlights from a recent webinar by LEAP’s expert simulation team covering the most significant updates in Ansys for educators and academic researchers in ANZ – with a focus on Fluids, Structures and Electromagnetics across the last 2-3 years.
