📚 “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." – Benjamin Franklin

Mar 5

Hey friends & nerds! 👋

Welcome to the Sunday Science Newsletter where we explore science, systems & tools that help us become smarter scientists.

💡 Machine Learning Applied to CFD by Andre Weiner

This repository contains examples of how to use machine learning (ML) algorithms in the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). ML algorithms may be applied in different steps during a CFD-based study:

pre-processing, e.g., for geometry or mesh generation
run-time, e.g., as a dynamic boundary condition or as a subgrid-scale model
post-processing, e.g., to create substitute models or to analyze results

💦 The Navier-Stokes Equations

Jousef Murad @Jousefm2

The Navier-Stokes Equations 💦 In 1845, Sir George Stokes had derived the equation of motion of a viscous flow by adding Newtonian viscous terms, thereby the NSEs had been brought to their final form which has been used to generate numerical solutions for fluid flow ever since.

🎙️Podcast – The Lattice Boltzmann Method

Based on his fascination for GPU and 3D graphics, Eugen initiated the development of a prototypical GPU-accelerated program for simulating flows as early as 2007 during his studies in aerospace at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Following his studies, he brought the software prototype into an existing spin-off company, which he had previously helped to build through his expertise in HPC and GPU. With the experience he gained, he started his own business in 2013 to develop pacefish® to market maturity as a highly efficient tool for simulating fluid flows. In 2016, he then founded Numeric Systems GmbH.

🏎️ The Role of the Wind Tunnel in Formula One

The wind tunnel is an essential tool for any F1 team, and with track testing limited to just a handful of days per year, every strand of data is critical.

Discover how the team collects that data using a sophisticated photo-imaging technique, and how NetApp play a vital role.

📚 Book of the Week

An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics

This book is a guide to numerical methods for solving fluid dynamics problems. The most widely used discretization and solution methods, which are also found in most commercial CFD-programs, are described in detail. Some advanced topics, like moving grids, simulation of turbulence, computation of free-surface flows, multigrid methods and parallel computing, are also covered. Since CFD is a very broad field, we provide fundamental methods and ideas, with some illustrative examples, upon which more advanced techniques are built.
