Webinars

Enhancing Cabin Comfort for NASCAR Drivers

TotalSim used advanced thermal management techniques and STAR-CCM+ simulations to assist NASCAR in creating a short exhaust cooling system to improve cabin comfort for their drivers.

Educational Content

Vehicle Heat Protection Application Presentation

Dive deeper into the way STAR-CCM+ can help you with vehicle heat simulation and the key capabilities it utilizes to increase efficiency and accuracy during the process.

Total Sim Flow Visualizations

Click here to view some examples of flow visualizations that TotalSim has produced using OpenFOAM. Some of the visualizations only use ParaView and some have been rendered in Blender.

Integrated Multiphysics Simulation

Observe how STAR-CCM+ utilizes integrated multiphysics in it's simulations to increase design accuracy. 

Flow Visualization of a Semi Truck

Learn how Total Sim created a flow visualization of a semi truck and trailer using OpenFoam. This specific simulation was rendered using the Blender software.

Intelligent Design Exploration Simulation

Observe how STAR-CCM+ utilizes intelligent design exploration in it's simulations.

Flow Visualization of Two Ford Fusion NASCAR Sprint Cup Cars

TotalSim computed this flow visualization of two Ford Fusion NASCAR Sprint Cup cars. This transient solution was run to evaluate the effect of two-car drafting using OpenFOAM & rendered using the Blender software.

Flow Visualization of Cyclists Drafting in a Peloton

Jump into this TotalSim production to learn how cyclists draft off one another in a peloton to reduce aerodynamic drag and the energy required to maintain competitive speed. This simulation was created so cyclists can better conceptualize the wakes, airflow and drag within a peloton.

Simulation of NASCAR Airflow

Watch this simulation to learn about the airflow around a NASCAR vehicle. NASCAR R&D used TotalSim's HPC solutions at Ohio State Supercomputer Center (OSC) to model the aerodynamic performance of track vehicles. This simulation illustrates some of the work that TotalSim completed in assisting NASCAR R&D model aerodynamic performance.
