  3. Linux vs. Windows by Taco+Cowboy · · Score: 1 · on Formula One Racing Just a Matter of Crunching the Numbers



    According to Fluent.com's own pages, the software requires a minimum of 256 MB or RAM to run, under both the Linux and Windows. However, under Windows, it requires 35 MB of drive space for the software, and on the other hand, under Linux, the disk space requirement is 50-75 MB.

    Does that mean Linux installation is more troublesome ?

  5. Missing applications by saha · · Score: 1 · on Army Contractor To Build A 1566 Xserve Cluster
    We have several SGI Origin machines in our department and would like to replace them with an Xserve cluster as well and G5 PowerMac for individual researchers as a development platform. We use FastShip, Maxsurf, Rhino, Tribon CAD systems and therefore unix CAD applications, like CATIA, IDEAS, Unigraphics, ProEngineer are not critical for us in the Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering (for the layman think of aerospace engineering in the water).What we are missing are the following commercial engineering software:

    Nastran

    Hypermesh

    Abaqus

    Fluent doesn't want to support Apple OS X, yet they will support FujitsuPrimepower? I wonder how many seats they sell to Fujitsu customers and how many more seats they could sell if they woke up and ported to OS X with X11.

  8. Computational Fluid Dynamics by TamMan2000 · · Score: 1 · on Finding Airfoil Data For Amateur Projects?

    Sure CFD doesn't use wind tunnel data to get performance characteristics, but the first principles approach used compairs very favorably to data that is available. Try Fluent or CFX if you can get your hands on them, they are pretty easy to use, esp for 2D sections...

    Disclamer: I am a former CFD developer turned turbine airfoil designer at a major jet engine company, so I tend to be a bigger fan of CFD than most people...

    That said, we depend on CFD very heavily, we often skip rigs, and go straight to test engines with new airfoil designs these days. The major gotcha to watch out for is that it can take a lot of experience to determine when to trust the CFD, particularly if seperated flow or transitional flows are significant effects on the solution...

    Some problems will have to be solved and this is in line with other research done in Australia. A different problem was discussed before on slasdot involving why bubbles appear to flow down in Guinness. This type of research is right in line with Aussie science.

    Just what the hell am I supposed to do with a simulation? I know what to do if I want to watch the bubbles in a Guinness!

    Funny, though. I can never manage to watch them for very long. *burp*
