Inverse method for viscous flow design using stream-function coordinates

Hybrid Inverse Design Method for Nonlifting Bodies in Incompressible Flow

A methodology for the inverse design of nonlifting axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric bodies in incompressible flow is presented. In this method, an inverse design approach based on conformal mapping is used to design a set of airfoils in isolation. These airfoils are then assembled into a three-dimensional body and the flow over the body is calculated using a panel method. The inverse design par...

A Central-Difference Scheme for a Pure Stream Function Formulation of Incompressible Viscous Flow

An assessment of a semi analytical AG method for solving two-dimension nonlinear viscous flow

In this investigation, attempts have been made to solve two-dimension nonlinear viscous flow between slowly expanding or contracting walls with weak permeability by utilizing a semi analytical Akbari Ganji's Method (AGM). As regard to previous papers, solving of nonlinear equations is difficult and the results are not accurate. This new approach is emerged after comparing the achieved solutions...

Multi-dimensional Reduction and Transfer Function Design using Parallel Coordinates

Multi-dimensional transfer functions are widely used to provide appropriate data classification for direct volume rendering. Nevertheless, the design of a multi-dimensional transfer function is a complicated task. In this paper, we propose to use parallel coordinates, a powerful tool to visualize high-dimensional geometry and analyze multivariate data, for multi-dimensional transfer function de...
