Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) surrogates are developed to efficiently compute the aerodynamic heating and unsteady pressure loads for a structurally and thermally compliant skin panel in hypersonic flow. In order to minimize the computational overhead, the surrogates are constructed using steady-state CFD flow analysis. Unsteady terms in the aerodynamic pressure are incorporated using pisto...

An accurate description of the fluid flow and heat transfer within a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), for the safety analysis and reactor performance is always desirable. In this paper a mathematical model of the fundamental physical phenomena which are associated to a typical PWR is presented. The mathematical model governs the fluid dynamics in the reactor. Using commercial software CFX, a co...

Abstract. Numerical investigations of fluid structure interaction between unsteady flow and vibrating liner in a combustion chamber are undertaken. The computational study consist of two approaches. Firstly, a partioned procedure consists of coupling the LES code AVBP for combustion modelling with the FEM code CaluliX for structural dynamic analysis. The CFD code CFX together with the FEM Ansys...

In the following paper we present a parallelized resolved method for the simulation of the dynamics of immersed bodies within fluids. The algorithm uses the so called Fictitious Domain Method (FDM) and combines the Lagrangian Discrete Element Method (DEM) for the tracking of the bodies and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method for the calculation of the flow and pressure field of the flui...

In a previous paper1 the author and co-workers reported an unexpected numerical behavior in the simulation of dual-mode scramjet combustors. Under conditions of perfect symmetry in geometry, grid and boundary conditions, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) calculations showed an asymmetric response when a shock-train/separated-flow system was present in the flowfield. Other researchers using a co...

We applied computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis on the numerical grid of a 3D rotational digital subtraction angiogram obtained in a 22-year-old male patient, with an accidentally discovered vein of Galen malformation associated with single feeder aneurysm, to understand the flow pattern through the two aneurysms and improve our general understanding of hemodynamic characteristics of this...

In this study, aeroelastic response and performance analyses have been conducted for a 5MW-Class composite wind turbine blade model. Advanced coupled numerical method based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational flexible multi-body dynamics (CFMBD) has been developed in order to investigate aeroelastic responses and performance characteristics of the rotating composite blade. R...

In this study, we investigate the Tchebyshev polynomials expansion method for the kernels identification of nonlinear systems. In aerodynamic systems, all the output data to an arbitrary input may be obtained by executing the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) program code. This calculation process may take more than several hours or days to complete. In comparison with the indicial or impulse m...
