Hey Everyone

This video dives into the topic of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). I will teach you how to perform structured (face) CFD meshing and simulation of an aircraft wing airfoil, with deployed flap s and slats. These simulations are typically performed to evaluate an aircraft wing's performance during takeoff and landing, as flaps / slats are deployed. These control surfaces increase the amount of lift (and corresponding drag) that the wing produces.

We will use SolidWorks as the primary CAD software, however other CAD packages such as CATIA, NX and Autodesk can also be used. The simulation will be performed in ANSYS Fluent.

The topics covered in this video include
1) Airfoil Geometry
2) Solidworks sketching and surface creation
3) ANSYS: Face Splitting, Face Meshing, Importing Geometry, CFD, Turbulence, Meshing, Mesh Sizing
