Follow the Sun - Article - ANSYS Advantage - WE - V10 I3

CalSol, the UC Berkeley solar vehicle team, used ANSYS fluid dynamics software extensively to determine the optimal shape for their most-recent one-seater, challenger-class solar vehicle called Zephyr. Fluid dynamics simulation performed on the outer carbon fiber shell of the car allowed the team to create the most aerodynamic shape within design specifications and constraints, which include solar cell placement and optimal cells curvature, and dimensional requirements.

The Challenge of Turbulence in CFD Simulations

 Ansys CFD codes offer a variety of model formulations and strategies which allow users to cover their design challenges. The current paper will show examples of how turbulence model selection can impact simulation accuracy, even for seemingly simple applications.

Designing drivers for golf involve trade-offs. Drivers with large clubfaces and deep center-of-gravity (CG) positions have a high moment of inertia and are thus more forgiving of mishits, while smaller clubfaces and geometries can lower drag for faster club speed and longer shots. PING used ANSYS fluid simulation to design unique aerodynamic features in its G30, and new G drivers that reduce drag and enable the large clubface and deep CG to deliver longer shots while remaining stable on off-center hits.

Relativity Space was founded in 2015 with a unique vision: to leverage additive manufacturing technology to 3D-print rockets that can be launched into space. This ambitious California-based startup is poised to change the global aerospace industry by making rockets exponentially faster, cheaper and simpler to produce. Already on its way to rewriting the rules for commercial satellite launches, Relativity hopes to eventually manufacture its 3D-printed rockets on Mars — where this innovative, affordable technology could be used to support human colonization.

Ice Shape - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V7 I1

Fluid flow simulation that predicts ice formation on aircraft can help maintain safety, reduce test costs and decrease weight.

Designing Next Generation Electric Powertrains Using CFD Simulation

Through a series of discussions on batteries, electric motors, fuel cells and external aerodynamics, each accompanied by a case study, this white paper details how Ansys computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation solutions can be used to solve challenges in electrification of vehicles, from race cars to all-electric aircraft.
