RBF Morph will participate in the ENGYS User Group Meeting (UGM) 2026, taking place in Madrid, Spain, from 21 to 23 October. The event brings together researchers, CFD specialists and industry professionals to discuss advances in computational fluid dynamics, numerical simulation and engineering applications.
On 23 October, Prof. Marco Evangelos Biancolini, Founder of RBF Morph, will present “Continuous Manoeuvre CFD in HELYX Using RBF-Based Reduced-Order Mesh Motion: A Formula 1 Braking Case.” The contribution addresses the application of radial basis function (RBF) mesh morphing to the simulation of complex vehicle manoeuvres, with a focus on the computational modelling of a Formula 1 braking scenario.
The simulation investigates the potential of RBF-based reduced-order mesh motion to accommodate continuously evolving vehicle configurations within a CFD workflow. By enabling mesh deformation in response to prescribed motion, the methodology avoids repeated mesh regeneration and provides a framework for analysing dynamic configurations. The Formula 1 braking case offers an application context in which vehicle kinematics and tyre–ground interaction are relevant to the aerodynamic simulation.
The use of reduced-order mesh motion is particularly significant in applications requiring multiple configurations to be evaluated over a continuous trajectory. Integrating mesh deformation into the simulation process can reduce workflow complexity and facilitate the investigation of transient aerodynamic phenomena, while maintaining the computational mesh throughout the manoeuvre.
The presentation also highlights the technological complementarity between RBF Morph and ENGYS. The integration of advanced mesh morphing techniques into CFD workflows based on HELYX and ELEMENTS supports the development of more flexible approaches to engineering simulation, design analysis and optimisation.
RBF Morph’s participation in ENGYS UGM 2026 provides an opportunity to share these developments with the international CFD community and contribute to the technical discussion on advanced mesh motion methods for complex engineering applications.
