💦 Exploring the Venturi Effect
When flowing through a constricted area of a pipe, a fluid’s velocity increases and its static pressure decreases. This principle is known as the Venturi effect. Comsol explains this effect, including some of its applications.
💨 Aircraft Vortex Generators – The Nacelle Strakes
In modern transport aircraft, underwing engine nacelle installation is the most common design choice. Here, the engine nacelles which are tightly coupled with the wing have a huge impact on the maximum lift and stall angle of the wing. With the usage of larger by-pass ratio engines over the years, the adverse effects of the nacelle on the wing’s performance have increased dramatically, especially so when the high lift devices are deployed.
💻 What is Meshing? | An OnScale Blog
In FEM, we create a mesh which splits the domain into a discrete number of elements for which the solution can be calculated. The data is then interpolated across the whole domain.

Webinar: Real-time FE-Simulation Feedback for CAD Engineers
Do you want to avoid grappling with manual Finite Element (FE) simulations, wasting valuable time on repetitive tasks, and struggling to optimize your product designs effectively?
The challenges in today's engineering landscape are significant. It's time to break free from these limitations and usher in a new era of efficiency and innovation with FE automation.
Join Synera and Voith Group on March 21st at 16:00 CET for a dynamic discussion on the power of Finite Element (FE) automation in engineering and how CAD engineers benefit from it.
💻 Engineering Tool of the Week - Sparselizard
Sparselizard is a high-performance, multiphysics, hp-adaptive, open source C++ finite element library running on Linux, Mac and Windows. A fast algorithm for mesh-to-mesh interpolation and a general implementation of the mortar finite element method allow to easily work with non-matching meshes and provide general periodic conditions. FEM simulations can be weakly or strongly coupled to lumped electric circuits.
Sparselizard can handle a general set of problems in 3D, 2D axisymmetric, 2D and 1D such as mechanical (anisotropic elasticity, geometric nonlinearity, buckling, contact, crystal orientation), fluid flow (laminar, creeping, incompressible, compressible), stabilized advection-diffusion, nonlinear acoustic, thermal, thermoacoustic, fluid-structure interaction, electric, magnetic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, superconductor,... problems with a transient, (multi)harmonic or damped/undamped eigenmode analysis.
📚Book of the Week
Springer Handbook of Experimental Fluid Mechanics
This key text is a major reference work – a totally authoritative handbook on a major current topic. It consolidates state-of-the-art information from the large number of disciplines used in Experimental Fluid Mechanics into a readable desk reference book. It comprises four parts: Experiments in Fluid Mechanics, Measurement of Primary Quantities, Specific Experimental Approaches, and Analyses and Post-Processing of Data.
The book has been prepared for physicists and engineers in research and development in universities, in industry and in other research institutions. Both experimental methodology and techniques are covered fundamentally and for a wide range of application fields. A generous use of citations directs the reader to additional material on each subject.
