  1. COSMOS FloWorks Wind Tunnel Simulation ME143 Fall 2006 J. Cho B. Wilson

  2. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Build a part • Car Body • Wing Shape • Entire Aircraft • Select Simulation Parameters • Fluid • Fluid Velocity • Run Simulation • View Results

  3. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Draw a part in SolidWorks

  4. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Execute FloWorks Add-In • Tools > Add-Ins

  5. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Start New Simulation • FloWorks > Project > Wizard

  6. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Set Simulation Units System

  7. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Choose Flow Type • Internal: Pipes, Ducts, etc… • External: Flow over surfaces

  8. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Choose Fluid

  9. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Set Surface Conditions

  10. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Set Initial Conditions • Flow Velocity and Direction • Initial Pressure and Temperature

  11. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Set Simulation Accuracy • More Accuracy = More Simulation Time

  12. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Size the Computational Domain • FloWorks > Computational Domain

  13. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Run Solver • FloWorks > Solver > Run

  14. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Wait for Solution to be Computed • Depending on geometry and accuracy, simulation time can be several hours

  15. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Solver Window • Completed Simulation

  16. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Insert Flow Trajectories • Results > Flow Trajectories > Insert • Export Images and Video

  17. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Results Image

  18. COSMOS FloWorks Tutorial • Results Animation • Click image to Animate

  19. Wind Tunnel Comparisons • Air Foil • Horizontal • Inclined 20 degrees • 1969 Chevrolet Camaro • 30 mph • 60 mph

  20. Wind Tunnel Comparisons • Airfoil Image (Horizontal Position)

  21. Wind Tunnel Comparisons • Airfoil Animation (Horizontal Position) • Click image to Animate

  22. Wind Tunnel Comparisons • Airfoil Results (Horizontal Position) • Low pressure zone on top of foil produces lift. • Laminar air flow over entire profile.

  23. Wind Tunnel Comparisons • Airfoil Image (20° Incline)

  24. Wind Tunnel Comparisons • Airfoil Animation (20° Incline) • Click image to Animate

  25. Wind Tunnel Results • Airfoil Results (20° Incline) • 20° incline increases surface area. • More pressure is developed at bottom of airfoil, producing higher lift capabilities for take offs and in-flight maneuverability.
