SPH method aims at simulating fluid dynamics. However, its mathematical formalism is also able to deal with other physics of continuum mechanics. For instance, SPH can be used to deal with deforming solid material, characterized with an elasto-plastic laws. In the...

by Louis Vittoz, R&D Engineer   Vendée-Arctique has just finished with an exciting final leg and the victory of Jérémie Beyou on Charal. It has been an undoubtedly foretaste of the incoming sailing races. 2020 and 2021 are going to be awesome years with two others...

by Adrien Bourgoin, R&D EngineerPhoto by Jeremiah Castro from FreeImages   Understanding the motion and the energy dissipation of a jet issuing from a weir represents an essential stake for the energy industry. The jet impact point has to be located in order to...

Driving a vehicle in deep water can be dangerous and may damage the vehicle. Electronics, air intake and other areas may be sensitive to water. With simulations of various configurations of water depth and car speed, as well as vehicle CAD alternatives, manufacturers...
