something different... flow through an Ellis 3D wormhole. blockMesh created 2 separate spaces and there is flow between them via a spherical 'throat'. The velocity is relaxed and reversed from roomA to roomB and the pressure is just relaxed from roomB to roomA - codedFixedValue

when something passes through an Ellis symmetric massless wormhole, the sphere surface IS the throat.

Been doing some "work in advance of contract" on flare tip modelling in #OpenFoam - its an axisymmetric case, with a hot stream to represent the low density gas inlet, flowing over a 'coanda' surface and mixing with ambient air - also monitoring the the average outlet temperature

#UFOCFD (cartesian) 15M cells, ran on @dicehub T4 GPU in 3.5 minutes, Mach 0.7 case, cell size 2cm. Testing out the Roe upwind scheme implementation.

used #codex to add a Roe upwind Riemann scheme to my (#UFOCFD cartesian) solver with Harten entropy fix (instead of the existing ad-hoc pressure wiggle based smoothing). It seems to converge much better and result look ok.

#UFOLBM free-slip wall condition - 125M cells, 3hrs runtime, A40 GPU

I created a free-slip (tangential flow) wall boundary condition for LBM, as an alternative to the 'bounce-back' method. The approach calculates the tangential component of velocity at cut-cells and then recomputes "fin" (the incoming populations) from the new tangential velocity.

#UFOLBM sports car model with free-slip wall boundary condition (thingiverse.com/thing:688425…). The mesh is 125 million cells, and ran on @runpod A40 GPU, 3 hours runtime, 100k iterations. The settings are Re=600,000 giving 10m/sec simulated speed for a reference length of 1 metre.

This fictional hypersonic aircraft geometry (lnkd.in/e7gS5nsg) was run at #Mach5, using the #UFOCFD octree solver with mesh 12M cells. Viscous terms and Smagorinsky turbulence gives stability to the aft region where the flow becomes unphysical. Ran in @dicehub on 4 procs.
