CFD simulation and visualization in aerospace engineering –applications in rocket module splashdown, jet engine gas dynamics and rocket combustion

Beg, Osman

Abstract

In this keynote lecture we present several recent CFD simulations of complex aerospace fluid dynamics- specifically 3 cases: rocket module splashdown, jet engine gas dynamics and rocket methane combustion and flame dynamics. The ANSYS FLUENT/CFX platform is utilized for all these simulations and discretization, meshing, boundary conditions, convergence and in particular visualization of velocity, pressure, temperature, vorticity, mass fraction fields are all given. A brief note on the presenter’s hero, Prof. Dr. Theodore Von Karman (founder of Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory) is also included. Some future CFD pathways in helicopter aero-acoustics, rotor aerodynamics and quad/hexa/octo/copter UAV vortex flows are also outlined.
