Propelling the Orion Spacecraft to the Moon Images of the moon from the NASA Orion spacecraft reminds us of how our technological advancements have made these wonders of the night sky reachable. The Artemis I mission marked an important milestone as it is the closest a human rated spacecraft has come to the moon since […]
Governmental Regulations Impacting Automotive OEMs In recent news, new vehicle tailpipe governmental regulations in the United States have softened for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) development of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids (HEVs). The Department of Energy has significantly slowed the phase-out of existing rules that give automakers extra fuel-economy credit for electric and hybrid vehicles […]
In Episode 3 of the Gamma Technologies Tech Talk podcast, the team delved into the world of fuel cell systems simulation and its integration with gas turbines (GT). Navin Fogla, PhD (Senior R&D Manager, Reactive Flow Systems) and Jake How (Senior Staff Application Engineer, Reactive Flow Systems), shared insights into the mechanics behind this advanced […]
What are the Sources of Noise and Vibration in Electric Drives? The general shift towards electrification in the electric vehicle (EV) market and beyond has created a need for higher fidelity simulation of electric powertrains. One aspect of this trend that has been getting attention is the desire for detailed analysis of an electric motor’s […]
Addressing the Evolving Needs of Powertrain Engineering Through Simulation As the powertrain market begins to pivot from traditional diesel and gasoline engines towards hydrogen engines and fuel cells, there is the open question of how to provide hydrogen to these new powertrains. In the short term, it seems that converting an available hydrocarbon fuel to […]
