Airfoil and complete geometry
Two-dimensional airfoil methods efficiently calculate section polars within clearly defined modelling assumptions. Three-dimensional effects, attachments, ground clearance, rotating components or complex separation require a three-dimensional CFD model.
Outputs
Loads, moments, drag, lift, pressure distribution or wake behavior may be central depending on the application.
- Airfoil and wing assessment
- Vehicle and locomotive contours
- Propulsion and cooling-air aerodynamics
- Static stability and controllability
Boundary conditions
Reynolds and Mach number, turbulence level, wall model and domain extent are documented. Comparison data must match the geometry and operating point.
