Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)


Computational Fluid Dynamics: Test examples 2

This page presents some computed test examples using various CFD codes. Some examples are taken from other internet sites just in order to enlarge the variety of problems that can be computed using CFD.

Various computations of fluid flow phenomena




Simulation of 3D flow past an aircraft, Ma=0.768, FEM, 106000 nodes. Left: Ma number contours; right: streamlines, pressure (source: Princeton University)

Flow past a car at 90 km/h speed. FEM, 447000 nodes. Left: pressure distribution,; right: streamlines around automobile (Saturn SL2). (source: AHPCRC)


Flow past the undersea part of a sailboat (source:unknown)


Pressure field around the body of a ski jumper (source: Norway)




The figures show the study of dynamics of NACA0012 airfoil falling in a viscous fluid.
