CFD Validation Challenges: Perspectives from Modelers and Measurers

Booking is now open for the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Aerodynamics Workshop 2026, exploring ‘CFD Validation: Computational and Physical Simulation Perspectives’!

Taking place on 18–19 February in London and online, this two-day workshop will bring together the aerodynamics modelling and measurement communities to share knowledge, challenges, and approaches, fostering open discussion on how both disciplines can work together more effectively in the context of CFD validation.

The event aims to bridge the gap between aerodynamic computational and wind-tunnel testing practice, creating a collaborative forum for modellers and measurers to discuss the critical challenges of CFD validation.

Speakers from across the CFD and wind-tunnel test communities will highlight validation challenges and opportunities, while discussion panels will encourage shared learning and help identify common ground for future research.

Aerospace Perspectives Series: Validation for Aerospace with Industrial CT: Driving Quality at Scale

 On-Demand Recording Available

Access Replay

Quality is critical to mission success across aerospace applications. Changes—whether driven by new designs, advanced materials, or shifting supply chains—must be rigorously validated to ensure reliability and safety. Industrial CT scanning provides manufacturers with a non-destructive, high-resolution view of aerospace, defense, and avionics components. From composites and wiring to seals and valves, CT uncovers hidden flaws and pinpoints root causes of failures, reducing risk and ensuring consistent performance. Join Lumafield for a webinar to learn how CT scanning strengthens quality validation at every stage of development, from early R&D to automated, high-volume production.

What you’ll learn:

  • How CT scanning works and what insights it delivers
  • How to leverage CT for supplier qualification and incoming part verification
  • How to apply CT for composite structure analysis
  • How AI-driven workflows enable real-time, automated decision making
  • How to adopt CT scanning cost-effectively in both R&D and production
