Enhanced Topology Optimization with Multi-Objective Continuous Adjoint
Topology optimization has proven to be an integral tool in the virtual prototyping process within industry. Engineers leveraging next generation optimization methods, such as continuous adjoint, can quickly gain valuable insight needed to enhance their products. Oftentimes, real designs must satisfy multiple objectives e.g. maximizing mass flow while maximizing swirl for an inlet port of […]
Cloud Computing with HELYX and Penguin Computing On-Demand
Companies using simulation in their design process, often utilize a spectrum of computing resources to meet budgetary and uptime requirements, manage security risks, and remain flexible in order to use only as much compute time as needed. The types of computing paradigms include running on local workstations; local high performance computing (HPC); remote HPC; and […]
Machine Learning for Accelerated Aero-Thermal Design in the Age of Electromobility
Artificial Intelligence (AI) coupled with traditional Compute Aided Engineering (CAE) tools provide the potential of transforming the engineering design process. This is one of the driving forces behind the UPSCALE Project, specifically applied to the future design of electric vehicles. The EU project is a collaboration of several industrial and academic partners, where ENGYS is […]
Automating CFD Analysis Tasks with PYTHON and HELYX
Increase simulation agility, improve team efficiency, and reduce costs by automating computer aided engineering (CAE) tasks. This is especially true for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tasks, where routine workflows can be systematically analyzed, built into best practices, and refined. These routine tasks are present across industry and can range from:
Simulating Conjugate Heat Transfer Multiphysics With HELYX
In real world flows, we often see combined modes of transport phenomena in which momentum + heat transport occurs simultaneously within and between fluid and solid regions. Systems that involve thermal energy transport within multiple fluid and/or solid regions, and possess energy exchange at the defined interface of the domains, are often called called conjugate […]
Introduction to Meshing with HELYX
Creating a computational mesh is an extremely important step in the overall process of CFD analysis. A “bad” mesh leads to solver instability; poor resolution of important flow features; poor parallel performance of your solver; and in general, inadequate and inefficient use of CFD as a design tool. A “great” mesh enables your CFD solvers […]
Talking CFD Podcast with Guest, Eugene de Villiers
If you haven’t listened to Robin Knowles’ Talking CFD Podcast, you’re missing out on a unique perspective of world of CFD. That is, a seemingly unbiased discussion between Robin and his guests about their daily work and/or journey to where they are today. The candid discussions with subject matter experts (built environment, surfboard design, oil […]

Advanced Simulation of Motorsport Fuel Cell Dynamics
In fluid dynamics, sloshing refers to the movement of fluid inside a solid object, which can also be under motion. Some examples of this application are the fuel cell (tank) of racing cars (like in Formula 1 cars) [1] and the propellant slosh in spacecraft tanks and rockets [2]. In these applications, the fluid sloshing […]
