Aerodynamic Shape Optimization: A Practical Guide
This article focuses on giving you a rather quick and practical guide to shape optimization with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and other simulation tools. We’ll look into requirements for the geometry models, the meshing and simulation setup, but also at optimization strategies and distributing simulations on HPC systems.
Jet Impeller Optimization for an Electric Hydrofoil Surfboard (efoil)
An electric hydrofoil surfboard (efoil) is a great experience if you want to try out new things that are related to surfing or kiting. Ve Concepts Inc. (AKA VeFoil) has been working on something new and unique for the efoil…
Hull Optimization of a SWATH SOV Concept
In a recent project at Rolls-Royce Marine Norway, an innovative SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) hull form was investigated as an SOV (Service Operation Vessel), optimized and compared to operating monohull SOVs. The hull form was idealized by members of…
GridPro Blog Post: Shape Optimization for CFD
There is a new blog post available on the GridPro blog, which gives you a good summary of shape optimization techniques in the context of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). There are also a couple of interesting CAESES pictures and videos, so…
