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.

CFD 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.  assistance
