CFD for
Aerospace
Applications
Our
extensive design, analysis, and project management
experience in the area of Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) has helped our clients to deal with
the flow problems that come up in the design and
analysis phases so more of their effort can be
concentrated on meeting the ever increasing
requirements on innovation, marketing time and cost
reduction, and quality assurance. Our CFD expertise
has enabled our clients’ engineers and researchers
to gain a better understanding of complicated
physics of the problems resulting in significant
reduction in costly trial and error experiments.

Support of Orion Program
InfoMec
has performed computational fluid dynamics
simulations and pre- and post-processing activities
associated with it in support of Crew Exploration
Vehicle (CEV) and Launch Abort Vehicle (LAV).
InfoMec helped identify best approaches to geometry
discretizaion as well as solver numerics and models
to capture the relevant physics of the particular
flow field. These analyses included flow regimes of
diverse characteristics such as viscous (turbulent)
and inviscid flow at supersonic and subsonic speeds
on Taxi and reentry capsules configuration.

Sonic-Boom Toolset Enhancement
With
the renewed interest in supersonic cruise aircraft,
NASA Langley had sought to update its sonic-boom
analysis software tool and improve its capability to
predict the aircraft sonic boom signature. InfoMec
responded to the task and performed software
upgrades and numerous sonic boom analyses. InfoMec
has also been heavily involved in transfer of
technology to Langley’s researchers through
documentation and technical assistance.
