This screencast shows how to use Caedium Professional to create the geometry and simulate a steady-state turbulent CFD simulation of air flow through a pipe into a box. Also you will see how to create velocity vectors and particle tracks within the flow volume and monitor residuals as the simulation converges.

Open Wheel Race Car CFD AnalysisOpen wheel race cars, such as those found in Formula 1 (F1), are characterized by complex aerodynamics. With geometry preparation, meshing, physics setup, solver control, and results extraction all combined in a single unified simulation environment, Caedium Professional is a good choice for assessing the aerodynamic performance of such cars using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Electric Race Car CFD AnalysisMany see the future of automobiles to be electric, so it's only natural to assume that the same may apply to motor racing. Luke Horsfall is one who believes electric race cars have a bright future, having set up Horsfall Racing (along with Laura Horsfall) to build electric race cars and race them in the F24+ electric race car class in the UK. The restrictions of this particular formula keep budgets and speeds relatively low (at least by Formula 1 standards). Making best use of the limited power in F24+ is crucial, and that places the emphasis on low-drag, aerodynamic race cars. I bet you can guess where this is heading - this is territory ripe for Caedium's Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) capabilities.
F1 in Schools Dragster v2.0 CFD AnalysisAfter reviewing the Caedium RANS Flow results posted in "CFD Analysis of an F1 in Schools Dragster," Brett Sizeland, Basilisk Performance team's chief designer, has been busy updating his F1 in Schools CO2 dragster design. Using the same geometry preparation process, physics setup, and post-processing, all within Caedium's unified simulation environment, we were able to rapidly perform the new simulation and extract the flow results presented here.
F1 in Schools Dragster CFD AnalysisF1 in Schools is an international competition for student teams (aged 9-19) to design, analyze, build, and race CO2 jet-powered cars (dragsters). Beyond promoting Formula 1 (F1) to the next generation of fans, F1 in Schools aims to give a flavor of running an F1 team by exposing students to finance, marketing, and engineering. Of course the most exciting area (as in F1) is engineering, where students get to use state-of-the-art 3D CAD/CAM software to design and build their dragsters. Performance optimization through analysis of the dragster design is also encouraged, which inevitably leads to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
Cyclone SeparatorCyclone separators are used in many industries to separate particles from a fluid, where the fluid is usually air or water. The types of particles vary widely, from wood chips to dust. You can find cyclones in a variety of places and industries.
