AIAA Propulsion Aerodynamics Workshop (PAW)

PAW Objectives:

  • Assess the numerical prediction capability (meshing, numerics, turbulence modeling, high-performance computing requirements, etc.) of current-generation CFD technology/codes for inlets, diffusers, and nozzles and their propulsion-specific boundary conditions.
  • Develop practical modeling guidelines for CFD prediction of propulsion flow fields.
  • Determine the elements of propulsion aerodynamics that are critical for modeling to enable the development of more accurate prediction methods and tools.
  • Enhance CFD prediction capability for practical propulsion aerodynamic design and optimization.
  • Promote education and mentoring of the next generation of propulsion CFD engineers.

6th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop (HLPW-6)

Tuft And Oil Hlpw5

OVERVIEW

The AIAA CFD High-Lift Prediction Workshop is a collaborative effort organized by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) to advance the state-of-the-art in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for high-lift aircraft configurations. These workshops focus on verification and validation of CFD methods for complex high-lift systems, such as transport aircraft with deployed flaps and slats during takeoff and landing conditions. Participants use standardized test cases, geometries, and committee-generated computational grids to assess the accuracy of various turbulence models, numerical schemes, and computational approaches in predicting the challenging flow physics associated with high-lift configurations. The workshops serve as important benchmarks for the CFD community, identifing strengths and limitations of current methods and helping to guide future research directions in high-lift aerodynamics prediction.

GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP

  • Assess the numerical prediction capability (meshing, numerics, turbulence modeling, high-performance computing requirements, etc.) of current-generation CFD technology/codes for swept, medium-to-high-aspect ratio wings for landing/take-off (high-lift) configurations.
  • Develop practical modeling guidelines for CFD prediction of high-lift flow fields.
  • Determine the elements of high-lift flow physics that are critical for modeling to enable the development of more accurate prediction methods and tools.
  • Enhance CFD prediction capability for practical high-lift aerodynamic design and optimization.
