As the capabilities of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model full aircraft config­ urations improve, and the speeds of massively parallel machines increase, it is expected that CFD simulations will be used more and more to steer or in some cases even replace traditional flight test analyses. The mission of the US Air Force SEEK EAGLE office is to clear any new weapon con­ figurations and ...

Observations regarding the use of advanced computational uid dynamics (CFD) analysis, sensitivity analysis (SA), and design codes in gradient-based multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) re ect our perception of the interactions required of CFD and our experience in recent aerodynamic design optimization studies using CFD. Sample results from these latter studies are summarized for convent...

1.0 ABSTRACT Dynamic data visualization in real-time involves rapid simulations of computerized models. Although computing power has increased exponentially in the last few decades, detailed simulations using software introduce time-delay that defeat the notion of realtime data visualization of the generated results. Approximate techniques can pave way for efficient generation of continuous flo...

Much is talked of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), concerning its role in the possibility of bringing down the costs and turn-around times in the design and development of aircraft. Views have been expressed, at one extreme end, that wind tunnel testing may play a secondary role eventually. This communication takes a balanced view according to which both CFD and wind tunnels are inevitable; ...

The functional formula of the flow coefficients for the radial clearance in a rolling piston rotary compressor was developed by the experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to improve the accuracy of a compressor simulation program. The experiments and CFD simulation were conducted to obtain the flow coefficients at the radial clearance under the assumptions of incompressible flow and...

BACKGROUND Intimal hyperplasia (IH) is a major cause of graft failure. Hemodynamic factors such as stagnation and disturbed blood flow are involved in IH formation. The aim of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of distal-end side-to-side (deSTS) and end-to-side (ETS) anastomoses using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) after validating the results via particle image velocimetry (PI...

This work focuses on the development of a multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation framework with application to plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of thin film solar cells. A macroscopic, CFD model is proposed which is capable of accurately reproducing plasma chemistry and transport phenomena within a 2D axisymmetric reactor geometry. Additionally, the complex interactio...
