December 2014: Holiday CFD Doodles

The festive holiday season is once again upon us. What better way to mark the occasion than with a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) doodle. No ordinary doodle though, a mega snow globe CFD doodle. Many a doodle has preceded a great innovation, so get your CFD doodle on and share your Caedium CFD doodles with us. Not sure if CFD doodling is for you? Then check out my latest blog posts that include the top 5 reasons to try CFD and why not all CFD GUIs are equivalent. Finally, I'd like to wish you a Merry Holiday and a prosperous New Year.

CFD Doodle: Multiple Interconnected Snow Globes

It's not just Google that can doodle. The CFD community on occasion has also been known to embrace its whimsy side, especially during holidays, and so I give you a CFD doodle. For fluid dynamicists (or at least this one) the snow globe has always had a special attraction and if one is good then four has to be awesome, right? Read more >>

Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Try CFD

There are many reasons why CFD has become a mainstay of most engineering endeavors that have a fluid flow element, but here are my top 5. Read more >>

Not All CFD GUIs Are Created Equal

Given the adoption and success of modern GUIs across a broad range of software, you'd think that making the case for one would be redundant. However, for some reason CFD was a late adopter of GUIs, and for what is predominantly a visual set of disciplines - think geometry, mesh, solver feedback, 3D visualization, and 2D plots. This late adoption is still evident in CFD software today. Read more >>
