Moving meshes by ALE method in dynamic pitching simulations.
At present, we are optimizing our in-house code on the
following topics:
The past topics include:
Rotating wheels simulation.
Coupling simulation of vehicle motion and gusty crosswind.
On going research themes in the areas of vehicle aerodynamics include:
Pressure change caused by train entering a tunnel.
Our current train aerodynamic studies include:
(Left) Instantaneous pressure distribution computed using different points per wave length values.
To study aero-acoustic problems, we have been developing a direct coupling method of flow and acoustics.
Stationary sphere (left) and Spinning sphere (right). Magnus effect is observed in the latter.
Beside engineering applications, we have also been applying our simulation tool to bluff-body flows. Some ongoing research topics include:
Wind tunnel model of ski jumper (top) and the surrounding flow properties estimated by LES (bottom).
We have also been carrying out studies on the aerodynamics of ski-jumping. Ongoing research topics include:
