Finite Element Analysis

Here is a nice FEA example, but the author forgot about the nicest part… where is the sound?! [GIF]

Some principals of Finite-Element Analysis explained in the nice post from Comsol [ART]

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Not sure if it is legal, but CFD can help cannabis to grow. This article explains how [ART]
Here one can read about the story of CFD solvers in NASA. [ART]

I have heard once that turbulence is the greatest mistery of our time. I do agree with it and that’s why I admire people who try to explore such tough topic. This article sheds some light on why it is so difficult to find a solution to Navier-Stokes equation [ART]
EXA Corporation shares the video with another example of Lattice-Boltzmann Method. [VID]

Sometimes, I find a video which makes me thinking for another few hours… It is one of these videos. I still don’t know where might be the limit of computer simulations [ART]

Engineering

European Union will invest money in something sensible. The countries are to invest €1bn in a small fleet of supercomputers for use by public- and private-sector entities across the EU. [ART]
New component of Bugatti is a result of topology optimisation and 3D printing. It doesn’t look safe for me, but I don’t have to worry - I wouldn’t invest my money into new Chiron anyway… [ART]

When engineers play ducks and drakes.. [VID]
