Simulation of a Wind Tunnel using Lattice Cellular Automata
نویسنده
چکیده
In this project fluid flow over various airplane wings was simulated using lattice gas cellular automata (LGCA)[1]. The aim of this simulation was to study how the drag and lift forces on a wing vary for various wing shapes, wing pitches and wind speed. The results of this study are presented, along with key details of the LGCA implementation that was used to construct the wind tunnel and interesting profiles of this tunnel in action which prove helpful in explaining the fluid behaviour over the wings. Fluid flow in physics is described by the Navier-Stokes equations

A Low Cost Numerical Simulation of a Supersonic Wind-tunnel Design
In the present paper, a supersonic wind-tunnel is designed to maintain a flow with Mach number of 3 in a 30cm×30cm test section. An in-house CFD code is developed using the Roe scheme to simulate flow-field and detect location of normal shock in the supersonic wind-tunnel. In the Roe scheme, flow conditions at inner and outer sides of cell faces are determined using an upwind biased algorithm. ...
