Optimization of Wing Airflow Simulations
Collaboration Case Study: Optimization of Wing Airflow Simulations Overview Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a key tool for simulating flight vehicles, including commercial aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and military aircraft. To be useful in the design process, these simulations must be efficient and reliable, with good estimates on the uncertainty in the computed results. In collaboration with […]
