What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...
Most engineers are familiar with finite-element analysis and its usefulness in structural problems, but they aren't as well versed in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A goal plot looks like this ...
But solving fluidstructure and fluidthermal problems with older FEA codes requires solving the fluid part and somehow mapping its results onto the other. Analysts might also have to tweak the mesh to ...
