Automated External Aerodynamics: Ahmed Body Vortex Capture in One Command thumbnail

Automated External Aerodynamics: Ahmed Body Vortex Capture in One Command

Simulation Engine: OpenFOAM

From raw STL to converged RANS solution with vortex visualization — zero manual dictionary editing. See how AuraMesh turns the canonical Ahmed body validation case into a single-command workflow.

Body-Fitted Pipe Meshing: Why Cut-Cells Fail on Circular Geometry

Simulation Engine: OpenFOAM

Same pipe, two meshes. The snappyHexMesh cut-cell approach produces a saw-tooth rim that pollutes wall shear stress. AuraMesh's body-fitted O-grid gives a perfect circle with structured boundary-layer resolution — automatically.

Clean Room Airflow Visualization: Seeing the Invisible with CFD

Simulation Engine: OpenFOAM

Visualize HEPA downdraft patterns, identify dead zones, and predict contamination purge paths — all from a single STL import. 3D CFD makes the invisible airflow visible.

Methane–Nitrogen Mixing at the Molecular Scale: LJ Molecular Dynamics with LAMMPS thumbnail

Methane–Nitrogen Mixing at the Molecular Scale: LJ Molecular Dynamics with LAMMPS

Simulation Engine: LAMMPS

How methane and nitrogen mix at the molecular level — from Lennard-Jones interactions and mutual diffusion to a full LAMMPS workflow for tracking density and temperature profiles across a hot-cold interface.

Pedestrian Wind Comfort: Predicting Corner Acceleration and Shelter Zones thumbnail

Pedestrian Wind Comfort: Predicting Corner Acceleration and Shelter Zones

Simulation Engine: OpenFOAM

A 50-metre tower in a 10 m/s wind. Where does it accelerate? Where does it shelter? CFD with an atmospheric boundary layer inlet answers in under 10 minutes — no wind tunnel required.

Von Kármán Vortex Street: Laminar Shedding at Re = 100 thumbnail

Von Kármán Vortex Street: Laminar Shedding at Re = 100

Simulation Engine: OpenFOAM

The most recognizable pattern in fluid dynamics — alternating vortices shed from a cylinder at Re = 100. Fully resolved with OpenFOAM's pimpleFoam, animated frame-by-frame, and produced from an auto-meshed O-grid domain.
