With the technological advancements in digital technologies, computer aided design and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses have become an integral part of the modern design processes paving the path to more electrification of the aircrafts. This has increased the demand for the high power density and higher efficiency equipment with a tighter constraints on the weight and volume. CFD allows an efficient process of design optimization in the current era of competitiveness and supply chain challenges, enabling innovations and design improvements in the tighter design timelines. Faster computers and advancements in the accuracy of calculation models have enabled CFD to make the design process more efficient. CFD has been adopted at all levels of the aerospace industry not limited to only at the aircraft level but to the equipment levels as well.
This presentation will discuss the real life application of CFD in the aerospace industry and will showcase how CFD is helping the electrification of the air travel. This presentation will also discuss the industrial outlook of the CFD which will differentiate the typical academic applications with the industrial one. Focus of the presentation will be electric rotating machines such as electrical generators and electrical motors. These machines are extremely complex in design and CFD plays an imperative role in their optimization. These machines are extensively deployed throughout aerospace and automotive industries where optimization of weight, volume, and performance is paramount especially given the current global transition to renewable energy sources and vehicle hybridization / electrification.With the technological advancements in digital technologies, computer aided design and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses have become an integral part of the modern design processes paving the path to more electrification of the aircrafts.
