Race Cars and Missile Tests: An Overview of Computational Fluid Dynamics

STEMe

Compared to the other two more traditional methods, one of which is solving complex equations by hand, CFD is the most cost-effective and efficient method, meaning it can be applied to a variety of engineering fields on a much larger scale. Finally, engineers will attempt to integrate these variable measurements into the physical prototype.

Creating the world’s largest 3D-printed structure

Futurum

Collaborating with structural engineers, Byron and his team, based in the Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Centre at Purdue University, were tasked with studying the behaviour of the structure under different environmental stresses, such as wind, as well as the internal stress of its own weight.

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

Building on an earlier interest in space and spacecraft , I’d gotten very interested in physics, and was trying to read everything I could about it. There were several shelves of physics books at the local bookstore. The other books I’d read had all basically said “physics works like this”. The lambda hyperon.
