Hi, wanted to do Drivaer estate simulation with rotating wheels, moving ground. So i started with tutorial from website, and used the same configuration as starting point, and Cd was way to low, then i changed to Kepsilon back and forth Cd was still low. then i switched to half of car and started to refine mesh and Cd went little higher to 0.3 but still...

Hello everyone, 

I have a recurrent problem when meshing with SnappyHexMesh: there are "holes" on some boundaries of my mesh (see picture). Do you know why this is happening? And what could I change to have a mesh that perfectly match with my geometry? I am working on a passage of a centrifugal compressor. 

Thank you in advance !

I have a pre-built mesh in cgns format which consists of a half-wing, symmetry plane and a half-sphere as the outer boundary. I can successfully import the mesh into TCAE-Lite. I want to set the half-sphere up with a freestream boundary condition (so that it can act as inlet and outlet), but there seems to be no option for this. Is there any way to run this type of geometry in TCAE-Lite, or do...

Hello everyone,

I have trouble initializing a case using a previous result when I try to run a simul...

Hi everyone,

It seems to me that the field bounding limits are only applied in stationary simulations, and not in transient simulations. Indeed, in one of my transient tests, many cells of my domain reach values (the velocity in my case) well above the max velocity indicated in SIMULATION/Controls.

Are you aware of this comportment ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello everyone,

I have some questions regarding case initialization:

1) In steady-state simulations, I assume that the conditions defined in the "Initial Conditions" section are only used to initialize the first point of each speedline, and that subsequent points are then initialized from the previously calculated point in the speedline. Is that correct?

2) In transient cas...

Hi everybody, 

I ran a steady state + transient CFD simulation on a centrifugal compressor (with a k-omega SST model) and when post-processing the results and comparing the stationary part to the unsteady part of the calculation I have significantly different results. Indeed, the unsteady part shows a higher mass flow rate. This seems to be due to a higher flow speed and a...

Hi everyone,

In the latest version of TCAE (25.03v1), it is possible to set new parameters in the SIMULATION/Controls section: the solver max and min iterations (photo attached). What exactly do these iterations correspond to?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody,

I have a few questions regarding TCAE transient simulations.

I came across your report on the DJI 9450 and found it very interesting. I do have a few questions:

1. What is the source of the CAD file, and how did you determine the airfoil details?
