Unified Multiphysics with Moving Meshes - Free Webinar
I just came across an interesting free webinar for anyone working with OpenFOAM or advanced CFD/FSI simulations:
📅 28 August 2025 | 10:00 CET | Online
The session will cover:
Generalized equations & interface conditions for multiphysics
Modularity, extensibility, and parallel execution in C++
Coupling strategies for Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) and ALE problems
Real-world benchmarks and applications
💧Reproducible & Replicable CFD: It's Harder Than You Think
Choosing an incorrect boundary condition with IBAMR resulted in spurious blockage of vortices at the outlet. Thanks to the support received in the code users' forum, this and other problems were resolved and we succeeded in replicating previous findings.
🧠AI Helps Predict and Sketch Computer-Aided Design Models
Parametric computer-aided design (CAD) is the dominant paradigm in mechanical engineering for physical design. Distinguished by relational geometry, parametric CAD models begin as two-dimensional sketches consisting of geometric primitives (e.g., line segments, arcs) and explicit constraints between them (e.g., coincidence, perpendicularity) that form the basis for three-dimensional construction operations. Training machine learning models to reason about and synthesize parametric CAD designs has the potential to reduce design time and enable new design workflows.
🤓 The Feynman Lectures on Physics
Now, anyone with internet access and a web browser can enjoy reading a high quality up-to-date copy of Feynman's legendary lectures. This edition has been designed for ease of reading on devices of any size or shape; text, figures and equations can all be zoomed without degradation.

💻 Engineering Tool of the Week - MoFEM - Open and Free Finite Element Code
MoFEM is an open source (GNU LGPL) C++ finite element library. It is capable of dealing with complex multi-physics problems with arbitrary levels of approximation and refinement. MoFEM can read various input file formats, and work with preprocessors like Gmsh, Salome, Cubit, and many more.
📚 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.
