Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the branch of CAE that allows you to simulate fluid motion using numerical approaches. Learn how to analyze a wide range of problems related to laminar and turbulent flows, incompressible and compressible fluids, multiphase flows, and more with the cloud-based CFD software component of SimScale.

  • 3 Places Where Your Design Process Is Slowing Your Time to Delivery

    In today’s increasingly competitive landscape, it seems as though there are even more pitfalls to potentially fall into, in an engineer’s design process. Ultimately, these hurdles can cause teams to miss their deadlines, and come up short in the final stage. Maybe you’re familiar with these outcomes; a project isn’t delivered on time, within budget,…

  • Thermal Environment and Indoor Air: Guide for Building Designers

    We spend a large part of our time in indoor environments; our home, work, social activities, and errands are mostly inside. This was true even before the pandemic we are currently facing, which, of course, has undesirably pushed this time to the maximum. Spending so much of our lives in buildings has made it necessary…

  • SimScale Formula Student Success Story: Dynamis PRC

    Learn how Dynamis PRC used SimScale to test the aerodynamic properties of their new electric vehicle design, the DP12, for upcoming FSAE events.

  • The Past, Present, and Future of Cloud Computing and CFD

    Beyond sophisticated scientific analysis methods like computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and technological paradigm shifts that beg questions like ‘where will the future of cloud computing take us?’, humankind’s most impressive achievements to date boil down to one recurring human trait: curiosity. Think about it, our species has progressed to this point in time for chiefly…

  • The Evolution of Engineering Teams and How They Stay Competitive

    The needs of engineering teams have changed. More focused on accessibility, collaboration, and efficiency, they require solutions to stay competitive.

  • Five Ways to Improve Your Design Process

    In the 1970s, before the widespread adoption of computers, long before anyone could differentiate the cloud from an ordinary cloud in the sky, and the term cloud collaboration was nonexistent, something pretty incredible happened in the way of product development and design process optimization. During this time, the automotive industry was booming, with Ford Motors…

  • DarkAero 1 and SimScale: Evaluating Wing Stall Characteristics

    DarkAero was founded in 2017 when three brothers—Keegan, River, and Ryley Karl—left their engineering careers to pursue their shared dream of creating the best kit aircraft known to man. To this day, the Karl brothers’ ultimate mission is to engineer the ‘fastest, longest range aircraft you can build in your garage,’ which is displayed proudly…

  • SimScale Enables Compliance with City of London Wind Microclimate Guidelines for New Developments

    Urban microclimates affect more than the hustle and bustle of busy high streets. They can dictate everything from building energy performance and the implementation of renewable energy technologies to necessary safety precautions for pedestrians and cyclists. Last year, the City of London reassessed and reclassified their acceptable microclimate conditions, in an effort to prevent future…

  • Applying SimScale to the Nuclear Engineer’s Training Process

    Evgenii Varseev, a long-time SimScale platform Power User and Summer Breeze Contest 2019 finalist, recently conducted a training course in Indonesia dedicated to teaching computer simulation codes. This exclusive training course was conducted at the Indonesian State College of Nuclear Technology (STTN) under the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN), Yogyakarta, and implemented practical training modules…

  • How to Model Different Types of Trees with Porous Media

    In the next 30 years, it is predicted by the UN that 68% of the world’s population will live in urban environments. In 2018, it was already calculated that 55% of the global population lived in cities and surrounding urban areas. This means that cities around the globe must undergo major innovative growth, and adopt…
