We have updated our publicly accessible benchmark, based on the well-known motorBike tutorial from OpenFOAM. It allows anyone to evaluate and compare CPU performance using a standardized test case. The benchmark is both transparent and repeatable, making it suitable for a wide range of users, from hobbyists to professionals. The test includes four mesh sizes. 0.35 million, 1.9 million, 11 million, and 75 million cells (with the largest requiring around 60β―GB of RAM). The setup uses default parameters, and though CFD SUPPORT recommends either their own blueSolver or participants can also use the standard simpleFoam solver. This newly updated CFD benchmark includes a new CFD scaling study that shows the TCAE software CPU scaling on 64, 128, 512, and 1024 simulation cores. It extends our older Kaplan turbine parallel scaling benchmark.

Can I Split Frequency Ranges in Harmonic Analysis for Separate Simulations?
- Post By Saandilyaa Gundu

Hey everyone,
Iβm working on a harmonic analysis simulation and have a question about splitting the frequency range.
Letβs say the frequency range Iβm analyzing is from 10 Hz to 100 Hz. Instead of running the harmonic simulation for the entire range in one go, is it feasible to split the range into smaller intervals, for example:
One simulation for 10-50 Hz, and
Another for 50-100 Hz?
Iβm trying to understand if this approach would still provide accurate results or if there are any drawbacks, particularly at the boundaries where the ranges are split. Has anyone used this method in their analysis, and if so, were there any issues with accuracy or continuity?
From my understanding, harmonic analysis calculates the steady-state response at a specific frequency. For example, consider the system at 10 Hz, assuming no damping. We know the equation is:
M(xβ²β²)+k(x)=Fsinβ‘(Οt)M(x'') + k(x) = F \sin(\omega t)M(xβ²β²)+k(x)=Fsin(Οt)
Since 10 Hz is the starting frequency, the initial displacement at all nodes would be zero, x(t)=0x(t) = 0x(t)=0. By solving this, we get the response for this frequency.
Now, when the solver moves to 11 Hz, will it assume the initial displacement is zero again, or will it consider the solution from the previous frequency?
Iβd appreciate any insights or suggestions regarding the feasibility of splitting the frequency range and how solvers handle initial conditions between different frequencies.
