Emerging CFD Simulation Technologies for Aerospace Applications

Embedded body as a proprietary immersed boundary method implementation, complemented by advanced turbulence modeling and efficient wall treatment, represents a cost-effective solution that eliminates the need for CAD clean-up, geometry simplifications and meshing. Applicable in both the automotive and aerospace industries, it adeptly facilitates aerodynamic simulations across diverse real-world configurations, providing results comparable to traditional body-fitted solutions. Most notably, with only a modest increase in computational requirements, it simplifies and accelerates the entire simulation workflow, thereby drastically reducing turnaround times. Along with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics technology, it has immense potential to address challenging industry applications related to moving objects and fluid-structure interaction. These emerging simulation technologies, suitable also to non-CFD users, are expected to significantly contribute to the democratization of CFD, fostering innovation and expediting design space exploration and optimization in aerospace.
