These applications demand data processing that happens almost at the speed of human reflexes. B... » read more

Whale-Inspired Propulsion System To Reduce Operating Costs By 20%


This article is an excerpt from the presentation delivered by Bluefins at CadenceCONNECT CFD 2025. Shipping is essential to global trade, as it transports nearly 90% of all traded goods. Large ships consume between 20 to 70 tons of fuel daily, which translates to approximately 15 million euros in annual fuel costs. This level of fuel consumption results in emissions of up to 75,000 tons of C... » read more

Reduce Noise And Improve Fan Performance With Serrated Edges


Industrial fans are widely utilized across various sectors, including manufacturing, automotive, and energy production, playing a vital role in ventilation and cooling. However, a notable drawback of these powerful machines is the significant noise they produce, which can range from 70 to 120 decibels. A primary contributor to this noise is the aerodynamic turbulence created by the fan blades. ... » read more
