Diesel Engine Intake Valve Flow
Total pressure contours in the valve clearance region of a heavy-duty diesel engine.
External Aerodynamic Flow Over a Truck
3-D transient simulation of external flow over a light-duty truck, using a 52-million-cell grid. A unique 3-equation turbulence model was used to capture shear layer roll-up along the vehicles hood.
Normal Jet in Crossflow
A snapshot of transient flow from simulation of a normal jet in crossflow (NJCF). Shear-layer roll-up and oscillation at the leading edge leads to coolant diffusion at the film hole leading edge
Turbine Blade Conjugate Heat Transfer
Conjugate heat transfer simulation of turbine vanes with internal cooling.
Nascar Engine Intake Valve Flow
Flow in the intake port of a V-8 racing engine, showing intake jet impinging on cylinder wall.
Pressure Contours in a Restricted Carburetor
Flow over throttle plates of a carbureted V-8 racing engine at wide-open throttle condition, showing affect of restrictor plate on intake flow distribution.
Trailing Edge Coolant Injection
Transient simulation of vortex shedding from the trailing edge of an airfoil, capturing the diffusive effect of vortex shedding on trailing-edge coolant injection.
Heat Transfer in a Turbulated Passage
3-D transient simulation of heat transfer in a turbulated passage, showing highly transient separation and re-attachment phenomena.
