In the following paper we present a parallelized resolved method for the simulation of the dynamics of immersed bodies within fluids. The algorithm uses the so called Fictitious Domain Method (FDM) and combines the Lagrangian Discrete Element Method (DEM) for the tracking of the bodies and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method for the calculation of the flow and pressure field of the flui...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of ship airwakes are discussed in this article. CFD is used to simulate the airwakes of landing helicopter assault (LHA) and landing platform dock-17 (LPD-17) classes of ships. The focus is on capturing the massively separated flow from sharp edges of blunt bodies, while ignoring the viscous effects. A parallel, finitevolume flow solver is used wit...

We describe a system that supports real-time interactive visualization of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The system allows a user to place and manipulate visualization primitives, such as isolines and streamlines, during an ongoing simulation process. A user can interactively select and designate regions of the computational mesh for refinement as the simulation progresses, per...

Turbulent flows of practical relevance are often characterized by high Reynolds numbers and solid boundaries. The need to account for flow separation seen in such requires the use (partially) resolving simulation methods on relatively coarse grids. development computational is stagnation. Basically, only a few regularly applied that known suffer from significant shortcomings: uncertainty predic...

In this study, aeroelastic response and performance analyses have been conducted for a 5MW-Class composite wind turbine blade model. Advanced coupled numerical method based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational flexible multi-body dynamics (CFMBD) has been developed in order to investigate aeroelastic responses and performance characteristics of the rotating composite blade. R...

We present a theoretical framework for new structural metamaterials we refer to as liquid structures: topology of bistable mechanisms made up high number cells that are sub-mechanisms composed pseudo-rigid links and joints. The name structures comes from the similarities they with kinematics constant flow incompressible fluids inspired by in limited domain. layout obtained through two-step proc...

In the present work, the performance of a tubular electrochemical reactor operated with three different inlets (central, lateral and tangential) was evaluated. Fluid flow simulations through the electrochemical reactor were performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The steady state fluid flow was simulated to visualize the velocity field behavior along the reactor for each different i...
