More fun with CFD

David Stribling 22 years ago

I did some more computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis, this time of a

1950s era NACA research vehicle called the RM-10. It was used to research supersonic aerodynamics. The page is at:

I am still waiting for a software upgrade to allow continued work on the Alpha launch lug. Our present version will not allow me to mesh a fine grid around the lug area to increase the accuracy of the solution.

Maybe model the launch lug as an inlet.

Hi David, What was the CFD code you used?

Fly straight and true (even on a computer)!

Yup! Good eye Stephen! Our full time analysts use Fluent--I do more structures work (ANSYS FEA) but like fooling around--er, TRAINING with FloWorks!

Hi all, We use Fluent and CFX for our little jobs (< 3million nodes), and a home-grown code for the real ones (30-50 million) on 32-128 processors....

Compute straight and true!
