Towards Industrial LES/DNS in Aeronautics – Paving the Way for Future Accurate CFD (TILDA)
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2018,
The ability to simulate aerodynamic flows using CFD methods has progressed rapidly over the last decades and has given rise to a change in design processes in aeronautics already. But more improvement is necessary to overcome the (still) existing lack in confidence in CFD usage, based on turbulence modelling. The TILDA project will offer methods and approaches combining advanced and efficient high ...
