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 […]
Multipoint Adjoint Topology Optimisation for Automotive HVAC System
In the previous post about multipoint adjoint optimisation I showed the concept and process of our recent developments in this field on a very simple demonstration case (Definitely read this before you continue!). We now have received permission by our partner Volkswagen AG to show the original case that sparked this development. I will introduce […]
