Wind Turbine Fluid-Structure Interaction

The turbulent transition process plays a critical role in the aerodynamic design of wind turbine rotors. Analysis tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics must accurately predict the boundary layer transition process to be successfully applied to wind turbine design. Early work in the transition modeling field, performed by Langtry and Menter, focused on the coupling of a local correlation based transition model with the SST turbulence closure.

HyperWorks Virtual Wind Tunnel is a vertical solution for external aerodynamics. The streamlined workflow in combination with customizable automatic result reporting ensures quick turnaround times during the development cycle.

The 14.0 release of the AcuSolve product suite continues to build on Altair’s class leading CFD solver technology. The 14.0 release provides improvements to AcuSolve’s moving mesh technology, new multiphysics coupling in the form of finite mass particle tracing, revised turbulence models, a newly developed tutorial guide, an expanded validation manual, and many other enhancements.
