Specializing in advanced simulation technologies, we empower businesses across aerospace, automotive, energy, and industrial sectors to design, test, and optimize their products with confidence. Conduct detailed aerodynamic and hydrodynamic simulations to understand flow patterns, forces, and other critical factors impacting your design.

2024年11月14日 · Learn about the most aerodynamic shapes, such as streamlined profiles and minimal drag, and their real-world applications in car design, aircraft wings, and wind turbine blades. Aerodynamic shapes are the foundation of efficient movement through the air.

Aerospace engineers must know how to select or design suitable cross-sectional wing shapes, often called airfoil profiles or airfoils, for use on a diverse range of flight vehicles such as subsonic, transonic, and supersonic airplanes, space launch vehicles, as well as helicopter rotors, propeller blades, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs), etc.

Aerodynamic shape optimization, or aerodynamic design optimization consists in maximizing the performance of a given body (such as an airfoil or wing) by changing its shape. The aerodynamic performance is usually evaluated using computer fluid dynamics (CFD) and the optimization can be done using a number of algorithms.

2015年8月20日 · It is generally accepted that some variation of the teardrop/airfoil shape has the lowest drag coefficient. I was wondering what shape has the highest drag coefficient. The image suggests that it is a flat plate, and that would seem to be an intuitively correct answer, but is …

The shape and orientation of the wings is crucial to producing adequate lift. The term “airfoil” is a two-dimensional slice through the wing section. The flow across an infinite airfoil is called two-dimensional or simply 2D flow.

2024年6月26日 · The geometric figure obtained as a cross section of an airplane wing is referred to as airfoil. An airfoil-shaped body moved through a fluid produces an aerodynamic force. The component of this force perpendicular to the direction of motion is called lift. The component parallel to the direction of motion is called drag.

2022年5月18日 · This tutorial investigates the wing airfoil, why the airfoil shape differs from aircraft to aircraft, and how to select the best airfoil section for your aircraft design.

Water falling through the air does not form that shape. Below a certain droplet size the surface tension keeps it spherical. At a critical size it begins to flatten due to drag, and above the critical size it forms an open umbrella shape and disintegrates into smaller droplets.

When it comes to fluid- or aerodynamic shape optimization, we have been talking a lot about very specific applications in our recent blog posts, such as the design of race car rear wings or the shape optimization of turbine blades.
