CFD simulations involving 3D complex geometry have become the norm, however, this hasn’t lessened the need for 2D simulations. Sometimes geometry and flow are such that a 2D simulation is the most appropriate approach. 2D meshing In versions of Pointwise…
AFMC (Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference) is held biannually in Australia, and the 22nd AFMC2020 was the latest, held in December 2020. AFMC2020 was organised by Australasian Fluid Mechanic Society (AFMS), and this year predominantly by University of Queensland and Queensland…

This monthly mesh we refer readers to our guest blog “Recombination of Voxel Transition Cells for OpenFOAM meshes”, published on Another Fine Mesh. That article describes a utility (vtCombine) developed by Applied CCM for Caelus that recombines the transition layers in…
This monthly mesh we refer readers to our guest blog "It's all in the numbering - mesh renumbering may improve simulation speed”, published on Another Fine Mesh. We all know that the mesh plays a vital role in CFD simulations. Yet,…
Introduction This monthly mesh we discuss part 2 in a blog series on "Car park Ventilation CFD with Pointwise, Caelus, CFX and FDS". First published in Another Fine Mesh on 27th May 2020, we continue the discussion, in particular, mesh independence.…
This monthly mesh we refer readers to our guest blog “Car park Ventilation CFD with Pointwise, Caelus, CFX and FDS”, published on Another Fine Mesh. Design of covered car parks in Australia requires CFD modeling of carbon monoxide from car exhausts to ensure the…
In this monthly mesh, during COVID-19 we continue to focus on Aerospace meshes with Pointwise, whilst working from home. This article steps through how Pointwise can be used to generate normal extrusion hybrid meshes for multi-element airfoils as shown, in…
