Modeling Convective Cooling of Electrical Devices

June 23, 2014

We developed a model that includes all of the important details of thermal management in a high-power electrical device. To do so, we needed to use high performance computing with hybrid modeling.

The Magnus Effect and the FIFA World Cup™ Match Ball

June 12, 2014

In celebration of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, we show you some interesting CFD analyses of the FIFA World Cup™ match ball — and how it exhibits the Magnus effect when in play.

Geothermal Energy: Using the Earth to Heat and Cool Buildings

May 23, 2014

Learn how to accurately predict the thermal performance of a shallow tubing heat collector design for geothermal heating applications. Part 3 of our blog series on geothermal energy.

Tips for Using the Wall Distance Interface

April 21, 2014

The Wall Distance interface can be used to calculate the distance to the nearest wall or detect when a moving object will hit a wall. Learn how to implement this interface in CFD simulations.

Characterizing the Flow and Choosing the Right Interface

April 7, 2014

No matter the focus of your modeling project, you have probably had to consider fluid flow at some point. Here, we discuss how to characterize the flow and choose the correct CFD interface.
