This page bears testimony of the diversity of AcuSolve applications and the wide range of features offered by AcuSolve.

	A simple channel flow demonstrating the structural deformation from a sinusoidal inflow. The inflow is always positive. The structural deformation is based on a modal analysis. [2.4M ]
	Demonstration of fluid sloshing subjected to a varying body force that simulates the motion of the container. This two dimensional simulation computes the motion of the fluid using ALE, both for the free surface and for the movement along the container using the Guided Surface technology. [ 1.8M ]
	Demonstration of fluid sloshing subjected to a varying body force that simulates the motion of the container. The motion of the fluid is calculated using ALE – both for the free surface and for the movement along the container using the Guided Surface technology. [ 12.4M ]
	Simulating the impact of strong currents that induce vortex shedding and vortex induced vibration (VIV) on offshore oil platforms. FSI and Free Surface Modeling are in action in this animation. [ 18.9M ]
	FSI Calculations on a Shock Absorber [ 1.3M ]
	Simulating the squirting of toothpaste from a tube, upon squeezing.[ 421k ]
	Simulates a tube bundle in cross-flow. The computed structural deformation is based on a modal analysis. [ 17.8M ]
	Simulates deformation of a soft concrete block under gravity. A quarter of the concrete block with two symmetry planes and a slip floor was used for simulation. The animation shows how a carefully meshed block can simply deform via ALE technology, and without any remeshing. The volume of the concrete block was preserved up to four digits all the way until the last time step. [ 112K ]
	Calculates flow through a channel where the two sides are separated by an opening ‘door.’ The motion of the door is prescribed, and the boundary condition varies depending on whether or not a matching interface surface is found. [ 1.1M ]
	Isosurfaces of turbulent structures resulting from the flow over a NACA0012 airfoil at 10 degrees angle of attack are shown in this animation. The deformed wing shape is depicted in the plot and illustrates the vertical motion of the wing in response to the aerodynamic loading. This case was computed using DES on an unstructured mesh consisting primarily of tetrahedral elements. [ 8.5M ]
	This example computes the deformation of a NACA0012 airfoil attached to a generic airframe at an angle of attack of 10 degrees. The structural deformation was computed internally using the Practical Fluid Structure Interaction (P-FSI) capabilities of AcuSolve and mode shapes generated by Abaqus. The mesh position was updated in response to the structural deformation using AcuSolve's Arbitrary Lagrange Eulerian (ALE) mesh motion. [ 7.2M ]
	This animation illustrates the simulation of a valve. The valve begins in the 45 degree open position, moves to fully opened, then finally to the fully closed position. The mesh motion was accomplished using a combination of ALE, interface surface, and guide surface. [ 38M ]
	The efficiency of chemical mixing in a stirred tank is analyzed with multi-species and sliding mesh features of AcuSolve. [ 4.1M ]
