Parabo-Spheric Flower 06 | Atelier Yukio Minobe 美濃部 幸郎 アトリエ

This is a natural heater by the sun. While parabola curves are utilised for making sun-beams focused at air conduits, the sphere can store and circulate warmed airs in its inside. Each parabola's axis directs toward the sun along its movement at a specific date, which refers to "Phototropism" of natural plants. The definition of the accurate azimuth of the sun is completely owing to the incident solar definition by Prof. Ngai. A C.F.D. simulation is utilised for the analisys of its performance depending on parametrical settings.

Hello Luis,
Many thanks for your answering for my silly question... I'm just relieved.
If you like, other cfd images are in my website, actually not mine, but just wordpress's.

Yukio, thank you for the details of how you made this. I'd say this is the correct place to have comments on the images. Alternately, you can make a blog posting and have comments there...

Hi Pep,
This is done by FlowSimulation within SolidWorks, which I think is one of the most designer-friendly CFD. Although SolidWorks can read Rhino's files, I want such a funtionality for Rhino towards some seamless optimisation procedures!
