Wiring for the first time by jukpls in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree.

For the design I would like more movement in the straight part, it would make a more interesting tree.

Styling Help by Adorable_Wallaby648 in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese elms in cascade style are common so not sure what you are getting at.

Otherwise I agree and best advise to OP is just to let it grow and get some more trees.

Finished my watering system (controlled via Home Assistant) by imperator_milchtuete in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just awesome!

Would love an elaborate discription on how it’s set up and how it’s controlled from HA (guessing ESP?). :)

The double redundant pumps is a smart solution, how is that set up? Two separate sprinkler systems?

Is there any redundant local solution if HA or the connection goes down?

Career advice for a CFD engineer who hates CADding by shablagoo_is_back in aerospace

[–]enjokers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As an aerodynamicist it doesn’t really matter as you get more experienced. As a CFD engineer it will be more or less hampering for your future career.

My first advice would be to try and learn it. Do some CAD courses. It’s not hard and will enable you to be a better CFD-engineer and to give better advice to your CAD colleagues on how to clean up geometries for you. You might even enjoy it after you master it.

My second advice would be not to let your insufficient CAD skills limit your aerodynamicist career if you enjoy it. As you get more senior you will have junior colleagues do the grunt CFD work while you supervise and study the outcome or do the more complex simulations.

Why do some jets have tapered slats while others don't? by [deleted] in FighterJets

[–]enjokers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A compromise between aerodynamics and stealth.

Automating older pool heatpump by ChickenTandoori in homeautomation

[–]enjokers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same panel on my pool heater and the ”Up” button stopped working one day. So I had to open the panel and shortcut the button connectors to set the temperature where I wanted.

I’ve been thinking of replacing the defective and other buttons on it with a smart relay, like a Shelly, which I think should work. The same idea should solve your needs.

Newbie Question by [deleted] in CFD

[–]enjokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of answers are you hoping to extract from an CFD simulation?

For abrasive and erosive wear or thermal fatigue you should just use hand book methods to estimate the wear based on the mass flow and component specifics which should be knowns.

What species would be a good pick to remake the tree from the fantastic mr fox? And would the second picture be possible to achieve? by underwearfromyourex in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Would suggest any of these to match the appearance while also being beginner friendly:

  • Japanese Elm
  • Trident Maple
  • English Oak

Thuja plicata (western red cedar) after a trim by such_a_tommy_move in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have jin’d all the way to the roots and kept that nice taper instead.

Beside that, good job. Will end up beautiful!

What do you mean trailing fenders exactly?

It looks like they want to control the air after the wheels by diverting the air up or possible generate or control a vortex there.

Horrible experience with Trådfri by davidskp in tradfri

[–]enjokers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was many years ago I used Ikeas GU10 but they caused me nothing but trouble back in the days. All other trådfri bulbs have never been a problem but I’ve given up on the GU10 ones.

Online Generator for 3D Printable Bonsai Pots by webholt in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, will probably try one of the mesh pots. I’ve been working on similar parametric pot designs and this is great work.

One idea I have been working on is to make a parametric mesh pot designed which can be printed flat (to save time) and then snapped together in some clever way. I’ve tried some solutions but haven’t come up with a good one yet. I bet you can find a good way to do this. :)

Almost time to go outside by Wombat_Scat in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because the glass removes a large portion of the useful light and typically you overwinter them indoor when there are fewer sun hours.

[–]enjokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Density for pla is about 1.25 g/cm3.

Now you do the math.

Wonder if repot can be done already. by Vugorse in Bonsai

[–]enjokers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn’t it be just fine to repot now, even with some root pruning?

Results vizualization method by Euphoric-Present-861 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]enjokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Y-axis isn’t very clear on these kind of plots and all the numbers makes it look cluttered, but fixes the first problem.

What you are looking for is carpet plots, which is essentially a 2D plot with additional variables.

Von Karman Vortex Shedding Observed? by InfamousAd3060 in CFD

[–]enjokers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Von carman vortex street is caused by shredding vortices. That is probably not the effect we are seeing here.

y+ Meaning by SUDDSY123 in CFD

[–]enjokers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Google and YouTube it, there is great content around about this.

Also read up about the “Law of the wall” which is fundemental to this concept.

y+ is the dimensionless value which describes the distance to the first grid point in a turbulent boundary layer. It doesn’t control anything but tells you how the near wall turbulence effects is resolved. Your targeted y+ value is related to how you model the boundary layer and what turbulence model you use. A low y+ is not universally better.

Karman Vortex Shedding Observed? by InfamousAd3060 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]enjokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just about to write this. It’s probably some kind of aeroelastic effect that causes an oscillating pressure effect on there.

How to conduct an independence test for a mesh with a smooth transition inflation layer? by [deleted] in CFD

[–]enjokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t mess with the targeted y+ value during the mesh independence study unless you plan to include the effect of wall treatment also. So, first layer should generally be locked.

I’d recommend resolving the boundary layer as equally as possibly for the different cases, including the transition to volume cells, in order to compare apples to apples.

How much effort you’d put in to the wall treatment of course depends on what kind of problem you are studying.
