1. Exploring Alternative Approaches to CFD Dimitri Mavriplis
Dept.of Mechanical Engineering
University of Wyoming
Laramie, WY
2. Workshop Statement Barriers to Progress and Technology Drivers
Misguided Government and Industry Policies
NASA: No base R&D budget, mission/vehicle emphasis
Boeing: Lack of interest in technology/internal expertise
Dell Computer Corp.
Multiple Scales
Anisotropy, Solver Stiffness, Mesh Refinement, Turbulence
Software Complexity
MDO, multiphase flow front tracking, education
3. Technology Drivers High-Order Accuracy (Discontinuous Galerkin)
Attempt to mitigate multiple-scale issue
Large gains possible through more efficient approximations (temporal and spatial)
Requires efficient solvers to realize gains
More complex software
Low-Order Accuracy: Simpler Models (Lattice Boltzmann)
Simpler software
More complex physics: Mesoscales
Also requires efficient solvers
4. CFD Accuracy for Drag Prediction (AIAA workshop results) Current simulations suffer from : Discretization errors Physical Modeling errors Apparently, one does not dominate the other (still)
