The Aerospace Special Report provides a selection of case studies and examples that demonstrate the tangible benefits that aerospace companies have achieved by deploying STAR-CCM+ as a principal tool in their engineering arsenal.
The aerospace industry is in the process of reinventing itself in response to global economic, political, social, and environmental pressures. It is no secret that in order to remain competitive, companies must increase product performance and reduce the amount of time it takes to get that product to market, while at the same time reducing costs. Although challenging, this is an exciting time to be in the industry!
This magazine contains stories that demonstrate how CFD is being used for everything from student motorsport design to the historical analysis of long forgotten race cars, in each case demonstrating that serious engineering analysis can be performed using very limited resources.
With this magazine it is our hope that you find value both in hearing how some other leading companies are leveraging simulation and in learning a few insights into more efficiently simulating some common situations in electronics thermal management.
Integrate. Automate. Innovate.
Technology has been called upon to demonstrate the viability, improve the safety and increase the efficiency of both renewable and non-renewable energy supplies.
Bringing it all together, the power of integration.
Computational methods have been used in marine engineering for a long time to design and optimize marine vessels, from yachts to offshore platforms. It is just that those traditional computational methods are often not considered as "proper" CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) - because they are based on potential flow theory and empirical correlations.
The Turbomachinery Special Report offers an insight into the solutions offered by CD-adapco to the turbomachinery industry and how these solutions are being leveraged by the industry in designing better, efficient and reliable products. Included in this report are case studies on turbine blade cooling, harmonic balance method, turbocharger flows, axial and radial compressor complete characteristic curves, exploration of installation effects, novel configurations for improving efficiencies and extending the performance envelope.
The class was very well prepared and presented. It make the work flow clear and left me with a very powerful tool that I can actually use in my work!- Kevin Ellwood, Ford Research
