Enhanced CFD Simulations with Conjugate Heat Transfer and Passive Species Transport

symscape — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 13:07:08 +0000

The highlight of the latest Caedium (v6.0) release is an enhanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) heat transfer capability with multi-domain support for fluids and solids, known as Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT). Also Caedium can now simulate the dispersal of secondary species (e.g., smoke or dye) in a primary fluid, known as passive species (or scalar) transport.

Nimbis Services Advances Cloud-Based CFD Simulations with Caedium CFD Accelerator

symscape — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:18:45 +0000

MCLEAN, VA, March 26, 2012 - Nimbis Services, Inc. announces the beta release of their on-demand Caedium CFD Accelerator cloud product, the first of two Caedium-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) service products running on Microsoft’s Windows Azure® cloud platform. Caedium, by Symscape, is a complete desktop CFD workflow environment with an easy to use graphical user interface integrated with OpenFOAM®¹ CFD solvers. Nimbis extends the use of Caedium beyond the desktop to the Windows Azure cloud with on-demand access and pay-as-you-go billing through a convenient and unique ecommerce technical computing marketplace. Examples of CFD models frequently analyzed with Caedium include airflow over a moving car or an aircraft wing, and water flow through pipes.
