  3. What Is Convergence?

    What Is Convergence? Convergence is a major issue with the use of CFD software. Fluid mechanics is involved with non-linear processes, dealing with inherently unstable phenomena such as turbulence. CFD software is intended to simulate these physical processes, and therefore is subject to the same issues as the processes it is trying to represent. As such it is not guaranteed that there will be a steady-state ‘converged’ solution to a problem. Computational Fluid Dynamics problems in general are non-linear, and the solution techniques use an iterative process to successively improve a solution, until ‘convergence’ is reached. Convergence can mean many things to many people. One definition [...more

What questions...more

  5. What Convergence Criteria Should be Used?

    What Convergence Criteria Should be Used? This is not an easy answer to give, as it depends upon the User’s requirements, and upon the software package being used. For example, for a simple demonstration calculation, a not-well converged solution might be adequate to illustrate some principles, and for use as a starting guess for a more refined calculation. In other situations where the quantity of interest is in a small localised area of the flow, and the flow rates there are much smaller than inlet flow rates, eg heat transfer inside a small separated region, then a very high level of convergence might be required. A detailed discussion on the definition of suitable Convergence Criteria...more

  6. What is ICME?

    Die 6. deutschsprachige NAFEMS Regionalkonferenz bietet Ihnen ein einzigartiges, unabhängiges, neutrales, über­greifendes und umfassendes Informations- und Networkingangebot im Bereich der numerischen Simulationsmethoden. In verschiedenen Workshops, Kolloquien, Diskussionsrunden und Foren sollen Teilnehmer intensiv technische Themen diskutieren und erörterten. Diese Networking-Möglichkeiten durch Erfahrungs- und Informationsaustausch sowie durch Knüpfung persönlicher Kontakte schaffen einen erheblichen Mehrwert aus den Besuch der Konferenz für die Teilnehmer selbst und selbstredend dadurch auch für deren Unternehmen....more

  9. What Role Does Simulation Play in ‘Model-Based’ Systems Engineering?

    What Role Does Simulation Play in ‘Model-Based’ Systems Engineering? Simulation has evolved as automakers look to efficiently build vehicle variants. Toyota plans to launch 30 new electric vehicles by 2030 That kind of variety can put a strain on a development team – unless certain features are carried over from one EV to the next, according to an industry expert from the Munich, Germany-based simulation provider Siemens. “What is happening in our customer base is that they are sharing models, components, subsystems, and reusing the model more in multiple vehicles,” said Steven Dom, Director Automotive Industry Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software, who spoke in a live Tech Briefs...more
