CFD software CFD Software Code Development

for aeronautics

Over the last forty years, the Computational Aerodynamics team has played a significant role in advancing the state-of-the-art in CFD technologies; particularly in developing capability for modelling flows around complete aircraft. A number of high profile successes have been achieved including: Development and support of a full-potential wing / body code, which has been extensively used in civil aircraft wing design Development of the world’s first three-dimensional, block-structured mesh generation capability, used widely in aerodynamic research studies Development of the world’s first hybrid block-structured / unstructured CFD system, SAUNA Collaboration in the development and support of the state-of-the-art SOLAR CFD system for rapid-response, Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes predictions Integration and industrial deployment of SOLAR meshing with the TAU flow solver developed by DLR
