💻 Engineering Tool of the Week – Fluidity
Fluidity is an open source, general purpose, multiphase computational fluid dynamics code capable of numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equation and accompanying field equations on arbitrary unstructured finite element meshes in one, two and three dimensions. It is parallelised using MPI and is capable of scaling to many thousands of processors. Other innovative and novel features include the use of anisotropic adaptive mesh technology, and a user-friendly GUI and a Python interface which can be used to calculate diagnostic fields, set prescribed fields or set user-defined boundary conditions.
📚 Book of the Week
Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach
Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach, Third Edition, is an introduction to CFD fundamentals and commercial CFD software to solve engineering problems. The book is designed for a wide variety of engineering students new to CFD, and for practicing engineers learning CFD for the first time. Combining an appropriate level of mathematical background, worked examples, computer screen shots, and step-by-step processes, this book walks the reader through modeling and computing, as well as interpreting CFD results. This new edition has been updated throughout, with new content and improved figures, examples and problems.
