AI Propeller Design Optimization

Using surrogate models and CFD to improve propeller performance

Using surrogate models and CFD to improve propeller performance
AirShaper has developed an open-source adaptive mesh refinement repository to provide the OpenFOAM community with access to a part of the code.
Wind strongly influences the design of tall buildings - not just the forces on the building itself but also the windflow patterns around it require proper analysis to ensure safety & comfort.
Bio-inspired flight draws inspiration from nature to make drones fly using bird-like wings
Adjoint optimization techniques have made it possible to automatically optimize the shape of a vehicle, athlete, plane or drone to improve its aerodynamic performance.
The Oceanbird vessel claims a 90% reduction in emissions through the use of large sails to propel the ship. Is this the future of shipping?
Vehicle water and dirt management is a key area where manufacturers are investing a lot of resource. Using hydrodynamic and CFD simulations, companies can now model and optimise the behaviour of water flows and dirt particles.
The Mercedes EQC drag coefficient showed some interesting results when AirShaper CFD simulations were conducted with the car in reverse. What does this tell us about the aerodynamic behaviour of SUV’s?
Trains may move in a straight line, but the aerodynamics are very fascinating: tunnel boom, cross-winds, efficiency and more determine their shapes!
