Lies, Damned Lies, and “CFD Comparison Charts” – Part IV

John Parry’s Blog

So, after three blog posts, what is the moral of this Blue Ridge Numerics’ “CFD Comparison Chart” saga? Well, clearly one should not believe every “CFD Comparison Chart”! – or even the many “charts” that…View Blog Post

Lies, Damned Lies, and “CFD Comparison Charts” – Part III

John Parry’s Blog

In my earlier posts I pointed out some glaring errors in the “CFD Comparison Chart” that Blue Ridge Numerics released on March 19th this year. Once we became aware of the “Chart” we quickly wrote a letter…View Blog Post
