CFD analysis of pipe flow
CFD analysis of a pipe flow This tutorial shows how to run a CFD analysis of the flow inside a pipe with multiple inlets using our free CFD software SimWorks. The tutorial will guide you in the setup of the simulation of a pipe with different inlets. The results will show the local pressure distribution […]
CFD simulation of drag coefficient of a sphere
Drag coefficient of a sphere – CFD analysis The drag coefficient of a sphere is calculated using a CFD analysis. The flow around the sphere detaches forming a rear wake which contributes to the high levels of the sphere drag coefficient, typically around 0.2 to 0.5: Sphere wake – CFD simulation completed with SimWorks The […]
Wind load on buildings
Wind load on buildings The wind load on high rise building is calculated using the Cimputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) free software SimWorks. The analysed building is part of a complex of buildings with a shorter one just in front of it. In this case the interaction between the two buildings is important in calculating the […]
SimWorks introduction
An introduction to SimWorks SimWorks has a free CFD software version and a commercial version and is available to download here. SimWorks is designed to be user friendly and includes a fully integrated CFD process from geometry import to results. The pre-processor helps you setup the simulations parameters and boundary conditions for any imported geometry. The […]
Truck aerodynamics simulation
Truck aerodynamics simulation The truck aerodynamics simulation tutorial is completed using SimWorks, which is available to download for free. The tutorial assumes you are already familiar with some basic functionalities of SimWorks, therefore we recommend to complete first at least one of the base level tutorials available. The objectives of this simulation are to evaluate the […]
