January 12, 2018? Adjoint Solver Technology
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/1/12 3:14)
|
Please note the following fluids seminar this Friday, January 12, 1-2pm in CEME 2202
Adjoint Solver Technology
by Chris Hill, ANSYS Inc.
Abstract:
The ANSYS Fluent adjoint CFD solver was released several years ago and has seen steady growth in usage by industrial customers since then. An overview of the adjoint method in CFD and how it is applied in industry will be given. The foundations of adjoint solver technology will be described together with the specific approach taken in ANSYS Fluent. The challenges of achieving convergence of an adjoint CFD problem will be discussed along with the challenges of making adjoint technology usable. Mesh morphing is a key component in the design process involving adjoint solutions and the rationale for the morphing method used will be described. Applications in multi-objective design, rotating machinery, thermal problems and constrained design problems will be presented. The application of adjoint methods for robust design and robust optim ...

A note about end of year giving:
Thank you for considering TDPS for a tax-deductible yearend gift. Please see below for information about how to give online or by check. Checks postmarked in 2017 and received by January 5, 2018 will be credited to 2017. If you have any questions about a yearend gift, please contact Department Manager Sandy Richmond at sandyjbr@berkeley.edu or her office line at 510-642-9755. As the TDPS office will be closed from noon on December 22-January 1, email will yield a faster response.
From the Chair:
We are living in a divisive time. Every day there is some new example of communication breaking down. During such a time, it is tempting to only seek out voices that affirm our own sense of the world. Here in the Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, we challenge ourselves to see things differently.
Theater, dance, and performance have a unique power at this time. Through the perfor ...

After More Than a Year Lost at Sea, Ada Has Been Found38817066031_81da0440b7_o
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2017/12/6 3:24)

The first day of December brought good news to the UBC Sailbot team – their lost Sailbot was discovered off the coast of Florida.
In August 2016, the UBC Sailbot Ada ? an autonomous sailboat designed and built by UBC students ? was launched off the coast of Newfoundland with the goal of crossing the Atlantic. This feat has never been accomplished despite the numerous attempts by researchers.
After 800km, the UBC Sailbot team lost contact with Ada when the sailbot was damaged in a storm and lost power. Power briefly returned when sunlight hit the boat’s solar panels a few days later, allowing the team to track Ada to her last known position near the Azures Islands in Portugal. Ada’s journey set the record for the longest distance autonomously sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.
Over 12 months later, Ada was discovered on December 1, 2017 by the research vessel Neil Armstrong off the coast of Florida. The Neil Armstrong was on an expedition led by Jennifer ...
