... on aerodynamic characteristics were performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD ANSYS Fluent) methods. In addition, experimental studies were performed in a wind tunnel to verify the numerical simulations. Discrete models of the aircraft structure were developed for analysis using finite element method...

...) or for the design of ice protection systems (Hann et al., 2019). This study used the numerical icing code ANSYS FENSAP-ICE (version 2020 R1) to simulate ice accretion and aerodynamic performance penalties on lift, drag and stall. FENSAP-ICE is a state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamic (CFD...

... on the computational domain. A very efficient way to face both aspects is to directly act on the computation fluid dynamics (CFD) grid applying mesh-morphing techniques. This paper describes a mesh morphing based on RBF numerical optimization technique, developed to be used for aerodynamic design, and its...

... resolved numerically; and an unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The models were validated using data coming from three different experimental sources, each with rotor spans and radii of roughly 1 m. The CFD model was used to investigate the influence of rotor arms. The efficiency...
