Examples#
Step-by-step walkthroughs for common CFD applications using Gradient Dynamics Studio. Each example covers the complete workflow from geometry upload through results analysis.
External Aerodynamics#
Vehicle Aerodynamics#
Simulate airflow around a car at highway speed. Calculate drag and lift coefficients, visualize pressure distribution and wake structure.
Aircraft Wing#
Analyze an aircraft wing section. Compute lift and drag, visualize pressure coefficient on upper and lower surfaces, examine tip vortex structure.
Internal Flow#
Pipe Flow#
Simulate turbulent flow through a pipe with bends. Analyze pressure drop, velocity profiles, and secondary flow patterns.
Electronics Cooling#
Model airflow through an electronics enclosure. Identify hot spots, evaluate cooling effectiveness, and optimize heat sink placement.
Rotating Machinery#
Fan / Pump#
Simulate a rotating fan or pump impeller using the Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) approach. Analyze performance curves and flow patterns.
