Multiphase VOF simulation of a dam break over the TS logo. All solved in OpenFOAM**. **OpenFOAM® and OpenCFD® are registered trade marks of ESI. read more →
TotalSim have recently been working in partnership with one of their support customers, Naval Architects Olesinski, on validation of TotalSim’s best practice for hull resistance prediction. One area in particular that Olesinski were interested in was how well the frictional resistance was predicted by the solver. The NPL high speed hull series was chosen.. read more →
TotalSim have been doing some internal R&D to push our methodology forward and provide our clients with the cutting edge needed to win. This time for cycling applications where we can now model flow around a pedalling athlete. The extra insight this approach will provide us over steady state approaches or wind tunnel testing could be.. read more →
The image above highlights the main vortical structures (swirling flow) generated by the front wing. Aerodynamicts will meticulously optimise the vortex strength, placement, and interaction with one another to manipuate the flow around the rest of the car. Vortex flow management is now one of the key aspects in designing a successful Formula 1 car. .. read more →
The front wing of a modern Formula 1 car is a marvel of aerodynamic engineering and ingenuity. It is the result of fifty years of mechanical evolution, and in this case, it is the survival of the fastest. read more →
In March 2016, TotalSim presented the results of their Niche Vehicle Network project at the annual symposium. The project was called AERO-P (Aerodynamic Efficiency Requirements & Optimisation Project) and was carried out with partners Ariel and Delta Motorsport with funding from a grant from the NVN. The project was looking at active and passive aerodynamic devices for.. read more →
TotalSim are pleased to announce a new template v2.1 with an updated set of codes for their CFD process based around OpenFOAM®**. read more →
The latest generation of CFD Hardware is available now and ready for purchase and offer significant speed ups over the previous iteration. read more →
TotalSim have been excited to recently take delivery of the VisiSonics Acoustic Camera. This camera allows us to capture and visualise noise and pinpoint noise sources. The acoustic camera consists of an 8‘’/20 cm spherical array of 64 microphones and 5 video cameras. The camera records 360 degree video and sound at the same time. Processing the.. read more →
