For this post, we'll discuss a topic which allows you to complement your understanding of global and local mesh controls that we have covered previously. Sweep meshing is a meshing method available in ANSYS Meshing that is important for all CFD users to understand and can be readily used to maintain high solver accuracy at the same...

Tips & Tricks: Size Controls in ANSYS
In our previous post we discussed the importance of geometry preparation, utilising the ANSYS Global Mesh Control settings and the best use of the ANSYS Meshing Advanced Size Functions. We will now focus on the ability to target specific areas of the mesh for additional refinement and mesh control, which is recommended for intermediate to advanced...
Tips & Tricks: Global Meshing Controls in ANSYS
Welcome to the first in LEAP's series of CFD Tips & Tricks blogs. The topics for this first series of blog entries will focus on the selection of efficient and appropriate meshing methods, mesh sizing and mesh controls in ANSYS Workbench Meshing. Meshing is one of the most important influences on CFD simulation accuracy, although it...
How the top Formula One (F1) teams stay on the podium
You may already know that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is currently used by all Formula One teams as part of their ongoing development for their aerodynamics and cooling packages. Since the technologies pioneered in F1 car development regularly flow through into other engineering industries, we felt that a post on this topic was the perfect...
