Prediction of an aerodynamic load acting on a wing or usually called wing loading becomes an important stage for structural analysis. Several methods have been used in estimating the wing loading. Schrenk approximation method is commonly used to achieve the fast estimation of lift distribution along wingspan, but in order to achieve a high level accuracy of aerodynamic prediction, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with Navier Stokes-based equation can be used. LAPAN Surveillance UAV (LSU series) has been chosen to represent an aerodynamics analysis on generic small unmanned aircraft with twinboom vertical stabilizer configuration. This study was focused to verify the Schrenk approximation method using high accuracy numerical simulation (CFD). The goal of this study was to determine the lift distribution along wingspan and a number of errors between Schrenk approximation and CFD method. In this study, Schrenk approximation result showed similarity with the CFX simulation. So the two results have been verified in analysis of wing loading. ABSTRAKPrediksi dari beban aerodinamika yang terjadi pada sayap menjadi salah satu tahap yang penting dalam analisis struktur perancangan pesawat. Beberapa metode telah digunakan untuk mengestimasi besarnya beban aerodinamika pada sayap. Metode Schrenk umum digunakan untuk estimasi cepat perhitungan besar distribusi gaya angkat di sepanjang sayap. Guna mencapai tingkat akurasi yang tinggi dari prediksi aerodinamika, simulasi Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) dengan berbasis persamaan Navier-Stokes dapat digunakan. Pesawat nirawak LSU dipilih untuk merepresentasikan analisis aerodinamika pada pesawat nirawak dengan konfigurasi twin-tailboom pusher. Fokus dari studi yang dilakukan adalah untuk memverifikasi dari metode pendekatan dari Schrenk dengan menggunakan metode yang memiliki akurasi tinggi seperti simulasi CFD. Tujuan dari studi adalah untuk menghitung distribusi gaya angkat sepanjang sayap dan menentukan seberapa besar error dari kedua metode.

The performance of a hydrodynamic journal bearing with different center circumferential grooves (CGs) is investigated using Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The influences of the CG extended angel have been investigated based on the numerical model. The results show that the CG of millimeter range depth in load zone is not good for the bearing performance but it is opposite in unload zone.

This study focuses on the performance of air conditioning design at the Dazhi Cultural Center and uses a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to discuss the differences in wind velocity and ambient indoor temperature between all-zone air conditioning design and stratified air conditioning design. The results have strong implications for air conditioning design and can improve the indoor air quality of assembly halls.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation dataset for turbulent forced convection on a vertical plate is presented. The design of the apparatus is based on recent validation literature and provides a means to simultaneously measure boundary conditions (BCs) and system response quantities (SRQs). All important inflow quantities for Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS). CFD are also measured. Data are acquired at two heating conditions and cover the range 40,000 < Rex < 300,000, 357 <  Reδ2 < 813, and 0.02 < Gr/Re2 < 0.232.

For a clear and comprehensive opinion on segregated SIMPLE algorithm in the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) during liquid processing of materials, the most significant developments on the SIMPLE algorithm and its variants are briefly reviewed. Subsequently, some important advances during last 30 years serving as increasing numerical accuracy, enhancing robustness and improving efficiency for Navier–Stokes (N-S) equations of incompressible fluid flow are summarized. And then a so-called Direct-SIMPLE scheme proposed by the authors of present paper introduced, which is different from SIMPLE-like schemes, no iterative computations are needed to achieve the final pressure and velocity corrections. Based on the facts cited in present paper, it conclude that the SIMPLE algorithm and its variants will continue to evolve aimed at convergence and accuracy of solution by improving and combining various methods with different grid techniques, and all the algorithms mentioned above will enjoy widespread use in the future.

AbstractNumerical simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is one way of predicting airflow characteristics on the model. This method is widely used because it is relatively inexpensive and faster in getting desired results compared with performing direct testing. The correctness of a computational simulation output is highly dependent on the input and how it was processed. In this paper, simulation is done on Onera M6 Wing, to investigate the effect of a turbulence model’s application on the accuracy of the computational result. The choice of Onera M6 Wing as a simulation’s model is due to its extensive database of testing results from various wind tunnels in the world. Among Turbulence models used are Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, and SST.Keywords: CFD, fluent, Model, Turbulence, Onera M6, Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, SST.AbstraksSimulasi numerik dengan menggunakan metode Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) merupakan salah satu cara untuk memprediksi karakteristik suatu aliran udara yang terjadi pada model.

Abstract Wells turbine is an important component in the oscillating water column (OWC) system. Thus, many researchers tend to improve the performance via experiment or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, which is cheaper. As the CFD method becomes more popular, the lack of evidence to support the parameters used during the CFD simulation becomes a big issue. This paper aims to review the CFD models applied to the Wells turbine for the OWC system. Journal papers from the past ten years were summarized in brief critique. As a summary, the FLUENT and CFX software are mostly used to simulate the Wells turbine flow problems while SST k-ω turbulence model is the widely used model. A grid independence test is essential when doing CFD simulation. In conclusion, this review paper can show the research gap for CFD simulation and can reduce the time in selecting suitable parameters when involving simulation in the Wells turbine.
