Managing water, snow, and oil behavior is an increasing challenge in modern vehicle design as OEMs push for improved durability, reduced testing costs, and faster design iteration.

Traditional CFD methods often require complex meshing and manual setup, making it difficult to accurately simulate free-surface dynamics such as splashing, wading, or lubrication under realistic operating conditions.

In this free webinar, AVL and Fifty2 experts Jun Li and Diogo Lopes demonstrate how mesh-free SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) simulation with PreonLab enables efficient and accurate prediction of complex fluid interactions across vehicle systems.

Key topics and takeaways:

• Explore how SPH-based simulation accelerates vehicle system development, from high-temperature gearbox lubrication to underbody wading and cold-weather snow applications.
• Learn how to combine particle-based modeling with PreonLab’s advanced post-processing and visualization capabilities.
• Watch a live demonstration of a two-stage reducer transmission simulation highlighting oil distribution and churning behavior under dynamic operating conditions.
• Understand how PreonLab integrates into existing CAE workflows to reduce prototype testing and shorten design cycles.
