Finite Element Analysis

• Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a phenomenon in which a force is exerted on a dielectric particle when it is subjected to a non-uniform electric field. The picture shows a device to separate red blood cells and platelets. [PIC]

• Prosthesis evaluation simulated with MSC Marc. I doesn’t look stable for me.. [MOV]

• OperaFEA allows for modeling the electric engines. In this article, the author presented how the Toyota Prius engine has been analysed. [ART]

• The article presents the best free simulation packages for students. I am a bit surprised that Abaqus Student version is not mentioned at all [ART]

Computational Fluid Dynamics

• Some cosmic CFD results from Masten Space Systems and Numeca [MOV]

• An injection, ignition and combustion Large Eddy Simulation of a heavy duty Diesel engine using ConvergeCFD. [PIC]

• Two windturbines working together [GIF]

Engineering

• A briliant art made by russian artist Maxim Zhestkov. It looks like live version Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics method. [MOV]

• The engineers created a device for people who are struggling to put paste on toothbrush. The video has a really nice tune! [MOV]

• Physicists Discover Graphene Can Behave as Both an Insulator and a Superconductor [ART]
