Aerodynamic Shape Optimization Using “Turbulent” Adjoint And Robust Design in Fluid Mechanics

2015
This article presents adjoint methods for the computation of the first- and higher-order derivatives of objective functions \(F\) used in optimization problems governed by the Navier–Stokes equations in aero/hydrodynamics. The first part of the chapter summarizes developments and findings related to the application of the continuous adjoint method to ...

Examination of aerodynamic parameters of fluid controlled mechanical thrust-vectoring nozzle

Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2009
The aerodynamic parameters of fluid controlled mechanical thrust vectoring nozzle have been computed to establish the relationships for improving the nozzle design. While a nozzle with exit Mach number (M) of 3 was used as case study, other values of exit M were also considered for comparison.

Some Applications of Combined Asymptotics and Numerics in Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics

1993
Diverse examples are discussed illustrating the power of combining asymptotics and numerical solution procedures. Problems in transonic flow are treated as well as an unusual application occurring in paper manufacturing and magnetic recording. A recurrent theme in these applications is the simplification and clarification of the essential issues by the

The Development of Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics since the 1960s: US and Canada

2009
CFD in North America greatly increased its utility in the 1970’s with the development, locally and abroad, of high-resolution finite-volume methods. These methods permeated aerodynamics in the 1980’s, when Euler and Navier-Stokes models became the standard of industry; since then, aerospace engineering has remained at the forefront of CFD development ...

Aerodynamic Interference Mechanism of Rectangular Lamps Installed on Tandem Hangers Based on Fluid–Structure Interaction

International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics
After installing lamps on hangers, large amplitude vibrations are likely to occur. To explore the aerodynamic interference mechanism of lamps installed on tandem hangers, this study is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and implements the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) numerical simulation of tandem hangers through user-defined functions ...

Flashback: 30 Years Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics in Japan, other Asian Countries and the Western Pacific Rim

2009
We glance back at the history of CFD in Asia, especially in Japan. It is quite clear that contributions from Asian countries have increased tremendously in the last 20 to 30 years of CFD research. Advanced supercomputers have been timely developed by Japanese industries and a good environment of CFD research using High Performance Computers has been ...

Fluid Mechanical Refracting Gas Prism and Aerodynamics of E - Beam Sustained Discharge in Supersonic Flow, Both Applicable to Laser Technology.

1978
Abstract : Details are presented of extensive experimental tests of a 90 degree Venus Machine, a fluid mechanical optical control device which deflects a beam of light continuously through large angles. A motion-picture photographic technique was used to obtain extensive data under a variety of operating conditions on the size and shape of the light ...

Fundamental Aerodynamic and Propulsion Principles of Aerospace Vehicles Based on Fluid Mechanics and Rocket Dynamics

Applied and Computational Engineering
Aerospace engineering is built entirely upon two core modules taught in university courses: classical fluid mechanics and rocket dynamics. Although university courses cover these theories separately, the logical links between low-speed flow, supersonic aerodynamics and space propulsion are rarely summarized systematically in lecture materials.

Flow Mechanisms and Aerodynamic Optimization of Dual-Element Rear Wings via Orthogonal Design of Experiments, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Wind Tunnel Testing

Applied and Computational Engineering
Rear wings play a critical role in Formula 1 race cars by generating a large proportion of the total aerodynamic downforce, and this study examines the aerodynamics of a dual-element rear wing within a Formula 1 framework using a combined methodology that includes theoretical analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), design of experiments (DoE ...
