TotalSim was approached by Clay Ratcliffe and Scott Porta of Porta Performance to analyze the hydrodynamics of their hull design using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD is used in the marine industry to determine how different types of fluids (air and water) interact with the boat. It can evaluate sink and trim and general seakeeping … Continued

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a new “normal” for everyday life. Personal hygiene is one of the recommendations we are constantly being reminded of. Six feet is the recommended minimum distance between each person, but is it enough? Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we can model the effectiveness of this 6 feet rule. The geometry … Continued
Due to current events, COVID-19 has forced millions of Americans to work remotely and avoid the office and other facilities altogether. While many are able to conduct business as usual from home using their laptops, many engineers need the high-performance capabilities of their local networks and desktops. To some extent connecting to the office via … Continued
Last year we wrote an article about aerodynamic analysis using CFD of a Dirt Late Model that garnered a lot of attention. On that model one of the most prominent aerodynamic devices is the rear spoiler. One question that often comes up is, what is the difference between a spoiler and a wing? Some people … Continued
