In-Cylinder Engine Simulations Made Easy - Article

Development of internal combustion engines is primarily driven by government regulations, emission requirements and demand for increased fuel effi ciency. To address these constraints, engine manufacturers work to refi ne things like in-cylinder fl ow, mixture formation and the entire combustion process. However, the increased number of operating parameters associated with these processes coupled with the high cost and time-consuming nature of physical prototyping are prompting manufacturers to integrate engineering simulation technology into their engine design process.

Floating on Air - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V6 I2

A new racing bike designed with ANSYS CFD won Commonwealth Games Gold and Ironman New Zealand.

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 Fuel-Efficient Geec - Article - ANSYS Advantage - WE - V10 I3

The Galway energy-efficient car (better known as the Geec) is a battery-powered electric eco-car designed and built by engineering students from National University of Ireland Galway to complete in the Shell Eco-marathon Europe. The team used ANSYS computational fluid dynamics to minimize aerodynamic drag, which accounts for about one-third of all energy consumption in a highly optimized car.

Hands-On Learning at the University of Iowa - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V8 I1

At the University of Iowa, Professor Frederick Stern has developed a customized educational approach using the ANSYS Workbench interface and tools that help students quickly learn to use ANSYS Fluent for advanced computational fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, while reinforcing introductory fluid mechanics concepts.

Hearts Content - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V10 I3

The long-term prognosis for babies born with single-ventricle heart defects can depend on the location of vascular connections made during corrective surgery. Shanghai Children’s Medical Center uses simulation to individualize this surgery. Researchers employ computational fluid dynamics to determine the optimal connection points based on the patient’s cardiovascular anatomy, improving surgical effectiveness and resulting in a better quality of life for these children.
