WEBINAR - Sensitivity Analysis and Optimization of Arbitrarily Complex Geometries Using TURBOdesign Shaper

Submitted by ADT on Wed, 10/07/2015 - 14:05

This webinar will introduce TurboDesign Shaper, a new software product of Advanced Design Technology that targets to ease the design of arbitrarily complex geometrical shapes. It is a unique solution for sensitivity analysis and optimization with computational cost independent of the complexity.

Job; lecturer; Dynamics

The UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering seek to appoint an outstanding academic with a suitably strong record of research and teaching in Dynamics. Dynamics is a core discipline within Mechanical Engineering and has strong connections with Solid & Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, and most aspects of Control. It is also fundamentally important for other branches of engineering, including Civil, Electrical, Biomedical, and Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering.

Simpleware Case Study: Simulating Pore-Scale Chemical Transport

Submitted by Simpleware on Wed, 10/07/2015 - 09:50

Image-based modelling can be used to analyse mass transfer phenomena through porous media, with particular applications to reservoir rock pore-throats networks. The aim of these analyses is to improve our understanding and characterisation of the way fluids move through variable pore-scales.

Using real geometries from micro-CT, this project involved generating a 3D model in Simpleware software for visualisation and processing prior to meshing and export to COMSOL Multiphysics® for studying chemical transport mechanisms.
