Welcome! - Introduce yourself :)

Hello everyone!

I am currently finishing my undergraduate degree in civil engineering at George Mason University in Virginia. My few academic years getting familiar with FEA simulations has involved mostly static scenarios (some impact and drop test), but with my focus being in hydraulics, I would like to better understand how to take advantage of CFD analysis in closed and open systems. As a side note, from a student who does not have a huge hardware/software budget, thank you SimScale. I specifically want to thank the developers and all the wonderful people making SimScale a reality. You are the real MVPs! I have been looking for a practical solution for remote simulation and I think this will be the start of something great!

Cheers

As a fellow Persian I say, “Salam! Chetori?” :smile:

Taking interest in hydraulics myself, I must say your background looks very impressive!

You mentioned a focus on cavitation in your work and I was wondering if you have any experience with open channel flow simulations? I ask mainly because I am interested in analyzing the eddy currents that propagate around bridge and pier supports (as they relate to scour) and any advice would be greatly valued.

It looks like there is some good starting projects that are provided through SimScale, but if you have any tips or guidance on setting boundary conditions that would be helpful.

Hello All! This is Vijaya Sekhar Gullapalli and am very glad to be part of this forum. I am generally a computational enthusiast am interested in the areas of computation, geometry, optimization, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. I currently live and work in Sweden.

I like the idea of using the browser interface to the simulation process and am looking forward to explore more on the features of Simscale. I congratulate and greatly appreciate Simscale for all the computation hours, storage and functionality they provide for community users.

I am currently trying out some thermal simulations but am looking forward for exploring CFD and structural options in the coming days.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Murat. I am from Turkey. I am currently working as a postdoctoral research associate at University of Wyoming, in the USA.
I obtained by bachelors degree at Gazi University in Ankara, Turkey (Mechanical Engineering), my master degree at University of Nevada, Reno in Nevada, USA (Mechanical Engineering), and my PhD degree at West Virginia University in West Virginia, USA (Civil Engineering).
Since I started my master degree, I have been working on CFD related research projects. Our team has currently been working on CFD using ANSYS Fluent. We also want to use OpenFOAM in order to compare our results with the ANSYS Fluent, and analyze the efficiency of running multiple cases using both software. While I was searching online for the availability of the OpenFOAM software in Windows environment, I found SIMSCALE, and since then I joined here, learning the software by working on a test case. I am glad to join here this CFD community, and to have the opportunity of sharing knowledge and experiences with everyone. Even though I am pretty new here, I am thinking this is a very good environment for working on CFD.

Thanks,
Murat

Welcome @vk_iyer, glad to have you here :smile:

Hello all!! Myself Ajinkya from India. I am a final year student pursuing mechanical engineering. I am a huge motorsports fan and an automobile enthusiast! I also like playing guitar and listening to metal music. I want to learn to use SIMSCALE because it’s a great platform for simulations. It can enable a person to develop their own car or any other device. It’s a real pleasure for me to learn such a great simulation tool! Kudos to all you guys who are working on it! :grinning:

Hi @ajinkyabhagat94! Thank you for the kind words about SimScale - I look forward to seeing your projects :smile:

Hello Munich team.
You guys has done some amazing job with Simscale. I was initially interested only in CFD but there is more than just CFD with SimScale.

My name is Chien-Ee. I was quite active in CFD back in 2000-2005 with using ANSYS product - primarily focus on VoF method and interface tracking. But have since departed from that due to inaccessibility and lack of interest with the industry that I’m currently.

I found out about SimScale through Onshape which is a cloud based 3D modelling application. With 3D modelling as a basis to start the geometry and SimScale to kickstart back my interest in CFD, I’m really excited with all the possibilities.

Hope that I can devote more time in CFD like I used to be. Great job again. Keep it up.

Hi @chienee - welcome, it’s great to have you here in the forum!

nice Pawel! it would be my pleasure to work with you on some of my projects.

are these people look’n to me! lol!

Name is Gene, faring from USA, 20 years+ ME. Background in many industries, Defense, Energy, Medical, Automation, Optics. Got pointed here by Onshape. Very exited by the latest browser based FEA and CAD developments, that are finally affordable enough for individual professionals and hobbyists. Long overdue. Thank you guys.
