Now being English, with a passion for aircraft and history, I cannot help but think of the work of Sir Barnes Wallis as I walk and skip stones over the waves. The story goes that prior to the 1943 Dambusters Raid, Sir Barnes Wallis spent weeks and months experimenting with marbles. His goal: to understand the complex physics involved in skipping objects off water before committing to flight tests and scale prototypes. And that got me to thinking, could you simulate a stone skipping on the water? It’s a very simple problem to describe in words, but one that’s very complicated to solve as it involves the modelling of motion dynamics, aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. n0 T3 F" `! Z" Y. {. a
作者想起了著名的巴恩斯沃利斯教授的跳跳炸弹摧毁水坝的历史事件，作者在想，怎么样模拟石头在水面跳跃的过程呢，用语言来描述很简单，但解决起来却很复杂，因为它涉及到运动动力学，空气动力学和流体力学等等。

Once I returned to the office I gave a call to my good friends at SSA to bounce (pun intended) a few ideas off them. In a strange alignment of happenstance, SSA had given their intern the task of recreating the work of Sir Barnes Wallis using Abaqus from SIMULIA. SSA are masters of FEA, and Abaqus in particular, and they were using the Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL) method in Abaqus to model the fluid structural interaction of a marble skipping over water.

Put very simply the CEL method allows engineers and analysts to simulate time dependent processes that involve extreme deformation, or the calculation of the interaction of fluids and structural components amongst other capabilities.7 O, a# r1 J) Y/ Y: s$ {& R* H4 H

Gravity was enabled together with the multi-physics response of the ball and water.

The results SSA were able to generate were amazing. What took Sir Barnes Wallis weeks and months of physical testing SSA recreated in days. I will let the images speak from themselves, but you can clearly see the impact areas, the wash created by each impact, and the number of bounces for each ‘throw’.

The great thing about simulation is that now SSA have a ‘working’ simulation model it is a relatively simple step to throw other objects of varying the initial conditions of the ball to achieve the perfect ‘throw’.

I am constantly amazed at the power that today’s engineers have available to them. If you can dream it then with SOLIDWORKS and Dassault Systems you can design, test, and validate manufacturing and assembly processes before a single part has been produced.. O9 g3 Z, ?/ k
现在，我不声称在应用CEL技术方面的专家，但如果你有，你想捕捉时间变化结果的问题，包括多物理场相互作用和大位移/变形参与，那么CEL技术的方式去。我经常惊讶于当今的工程师们提供给他们的权力。如果你可以想像到，那就用solidworks来设计，用abaqus来验证你的设计。: N. |# S/ {$ G" ]
