After an exhaustive two month search, CD-adapco is pleased to announce Bhaskar Bhatnagar of Daimler Trucks as the winner of the 2011 CAE Post Processing Contest for his image of flow around a towed truck.
For the fifth year running, the competition has given users of CD-adapco software the chance to showcase their post-processing skills by producing striking images of their work. In winning the competition, and claiming an Apple iPad as his prize, Bhaskar beat off tough competition from companies such as Saab, Gruner and InDesA.
The 2011 competition was easily the best ever, explains CD-adapco's VP of Marketing, David Vaughn:
"Post processing CAE results is no longer just about getting numbers from a simulation, but also about being able to engage and inform colleagues from other disciplines about just how effective an analysis was. The quality of this year’s entries has once again impressed everyone at CD-adapco and has shown just how skillful our users are in effectively deploying simulation across a huge range of different applications. With over 100 entries to choose from, all of an exceedingly high standard, selecting a winner was extremely difficult and is a reflection of both the high levels of skill shown by our users and of the versatility of STAR-CCM+.”
The best twelve images are showcased in the 2011 CD-adapco Desktop Calendar. Register for your free calendar, as only a limited number are available.

Using STAR‑CCM+ we were able to predict the performance of the flare installation with confidence, which allowed us to carefully select the level of protection that would ensure the safety of personnel and equipment aboard the FPU.
