On a stormy night in August 1981, a Cessna Centurion 210 aircraft crashed with 5 people on board in Barrington Tops, a rugged and isolated… Read More »Can CFD help to solve Australia’s greatest aviation mystery?
An increasing number of industrial CFD users are recognising the need to move away from RANS modelling and resolve a greater spectrum of turbulence (particularly in cases involving large-scale separation, strongly swirling flows, acoustics, etc.). Here we present an overview of Scale Resolving Simulation techniques and important considerations when considering applying SRS to your project.
LEAP staff, in particular our team of CFD engineers, have been watching with interest as the 2013 America’s Cup unfolds in San Francisco. Despite being the oldest active trophy in international sport, the America’s Cup is continually evolving thanks to an often dramatic combination of …
