The project is carried out on behalf of the German Aerospace Center’s Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI). […]
How Open-Source CFD Can Improve Your UAV Aerodynamic Design Process
From hand-sized nano drones to 18 metre wingspan military UAVs [1], the endless applications of modern drones have led to an abundance of configurations, ranging from single rotor and multirotor to fixed wing and fixed wing hybrid VTOLs (Vertical Take Off and Landing). However, each comes with its own aerodynamic challenges, that need to be […]
Achieving High-Quality, Low-y+ CFD Grids With ENGYS’ Advanced Mesh Algorithm
Skin friction drag can account for up to approximately 30 to 40% of the total aerodynamic drag of a streamlined vehicle [1] and around 45% in subsonic aircraft [2], to name a couple examples. This is why accurately capturing the physics of the boundary layer in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is critical for determining realistic […]

How CFD Is Helping Cities Beat The Heat With Thermal Comfort Simulation
The temperature of our cities is rising by 0.5 degC (0.9 degF) per decade [1] with some urban areas experiencing increases of 18% in just four years [2]. Although this may seem inconsequential, recent studies have linked the effects of hotter cities to thousands of premature deaths [3]. This has triggered city councils to implement […]
How CFD Is Unlocking The Potential Of MotoGP Aerodynamics With Aprilia Racing
MotoGP is now a battleground of aerodynamic supremacy as teams unlock the performance potential of intuitive airflow. Each bike on the grid has evolved into a sophisticated blend of aerodynamic wings, profiles and fairings. Unlike other motorsport categories, aerodynamics arrived in MotoGP relatively late in 2016, as a tactic for increasing load on the front […]
