New Tool Helps Engineers See Inside Computer Simulations of Airflow
Researchers have developed a method to overlay experimental imaging techniques onto computer simulations of fluid dynamics, making it easier to spot and understand hidden flow patterns. The approach could accelerate product development in aerospace, automotive, and industrial design by reducing the time engineers spend interpreting raw simulation data.
Originaltitel: Using Experimental Flow Visualisation Techniques to Interpret Computational Fluid Dynamics Data
<p>A short overview of the application of schlierenand shadowgraph image construction has been presented,focusing on its use in interpreting compressible CFD data.Numerical flow visualisation methods have been used forthe validation of numerical models of real flow fields butare also a valuable tool for identifying and inter-pretingflow field features and provide a useful means for extractinginformation from the numerical data that may notbe readily apparent.</p>
