SHAPE Project Airinnova: Automation of High Fidelity CFD Analysis in Aerodynamic Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Airinnova is a start-up company with a key competency in the automation of high fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The goal of this SHAPE project, a collaboration with the PDC Center for High Performance Computing at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH-PDC), was to develop automated procedures for carrying out CFD analysis in the field of aerodynamic optimization and design. The project is a significant step towards automation of the core processes that ordinarily would require specialist skills, such as creation of the simulation mesh, thus assisting a broader sphere of engineers to design aircraft in more efficient and simpler ways.
