Applied Fluid Mechanics
Computerized fluid dynamical analysis is becoming an integral part of the design
process in a growing number of industries. The combination of increasing
computer speeds and more efficient numerical algorithms have naturally led to an
increased range of flow phenomena that can be considered. This inevitably
manifests a need for more complex physical models, which in turn raises the need
for the CFD practitioner to understand the origins of the model. The
mathematical properties and predictive accuracy of the models must be assessed
to determine whether a particular model is suited to computing a given flow
phenomena.
The Applied Fluid Mechanics group at FFI focuses on fundamental as well as
applied problems in an attempt to ensure trustworthy results with sufficient
accuracy for a given problem. Commercial and non-commercial CFD codes are used,
and an in-house spectral element code is developed. Visualization and analysis
of three-dimensional data is also an active field of research, through the
texture-based volume render Voluviz.
