Webinar: Meshing Strategies for Ship Wake Simulations

Aircraft that operate from ships at sea must navigate the turbulent airwake environment surrounding the ship in a variety of atmospheric and sea states that can make these operations challenging and risky for pilots. It is important to understand the airwake dynamics of ships in these varied conditions to develop accurate flight simulation models for pilot training and help determine the safe flight envelopes that can be operated within. Towards this goal, CRAFT Tech has been using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to study the turbulent ship airwake environment and develop flight simulation models that can accurately capture these effects on aircraft.

Register today for our webinar on 26 October 2021 at 10am CDT (UTC-5) during which you will learn how the powerful and flexible capabilities in Cadence® Pointwise® Meshing were used to generate ship airwake grids. By leveraging Pointwise's Flashpoint automation suite for unstructured surface meshing, voxel hex-core volume meshing, and sources for mesh refinement, Pointwise meshing significantly reduced the time required to generate high-quality CFD meshes for this challenging problem.

Discover how to:

• Specify sources for control of surface and volume mesh resolution
• Automatically generate a high-quality surface mesh for a complicated geometry
• Utilize source-aware hex-core volume meshing to automatically generate a highly resolved wake mesh
