Motorbike aerodynamics simulation using overset meshes | EnnovaCFD + OpenFOAM 👈
Channel: Wolf Dynamics World
Date: 2023-12-18

🤯 This is the real deal; the wheels rotate, and the motorbike accelerates. Simulating this level of complexity is only possible with overset meshes and following good standard practices.

This simulation was conducted by,
James S. Ralph MEng (Mechanical) Candidate | BEng(Mechanical)
Stellenbosch University, South Africa, Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering

The overset mesh was generated using EnnovaCFD, and the CFD simulation was conducted with OpenFOAM ESI.
