🌀 Turbulence free flights are coming soon!

Turbulence Solutions is a startup developing software and hardware components for aircraft to cancel clear air turbulence.

Make Flights Turbulence Free

💻 Open Source Geometry Kernel for Computational Engineering

PicoGK ("peacock") is a compact, robust, and fast geometry kernel for Computational Engineering.

PicoGK was developed by Lin Kayser, and is maintained by LEAP 71. PicoGK is released under the Apache License 2.0 (SPDX Apache-2.0).

For more information, please visit: https://PicoGK.org

We believe that Computational Engineering will profoundly change the way we design physical objects in the years to come. But it needs a neutral, transparent and free and open-source platform in order to be adopted widely.

By developing and maintaining PicoGK, we hope to make a contribution to accelerate the progress of invention.

💻 Mathematics of Turbulent Flows: A Million Dollar Problem! by Edriss S Titi

Turbulence is a classical physical phenomenon that has been a great challenge to mathematicians, physicists, engineers and computational scientists. Chaos theory has been developed in the end of the last century to address similar phenomena that occur in a wide range of applied sciences, but the eyes have always been on the big ball – Turbulence.

As such, the Navier-Stokes equations form the main building block in any fluid model, in particular in global climate models. Whether the solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations remain smooth, indefinitely in time, is one of the most challenging mathematical problems. In this talk you will learn the layman language, the main challenges that the different scientific communities facing while attempting to attack this problem.

🤓 Eighty Years of the Finite Element Method: Birth, Evolution, and Future

This document presents comprehensive historical accounts on the developments of fnite element methods (FEM) since 1941, with a specifc emphasis on developments related to solid mechanics. We present a historical overview beginning with the theoretical formulations and origins of the FEM, while discussing important developments that have enabled the FEM to become the numerical method of choice for so many problems rooted in solid mechanics.

FEBio - Multiphysics Finite Element Simulations in Biomechanics & Biophysics

FEBio is a softwarol for nonlinear finite element analysis in biomechanics and biophysics and is specifically focused on solving nonlinear large deformation problems in biomechanics and biophysics. Aside from structural mechanics, it can also solve problems in mixture mechanics (i.e. biphasic or multiphasic materials), fluid mechanics, reaction-diffusion, and heat transfer.

A Voyage Through Turbulence

Turbulence is widely recognized as one of the outstanding problems of the physical sciences, but it still remains only partially understood despite having attracted the sustained efforts of many leading scientists for well over a century. This book will provide absorbing reading for every scientist, mathematician and engineer interested in the history and culture of turbulence, as background to the intense challenges that this universal phenomenon still presents.
