Numerical wind tunnel project computational fluid dynamics at National Aerospace Laboratory, Japan

Abstract

The progress report of the numerical wind tunnel project and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) at National Aerospace Laboratory (NAL), Japan, presented to the 3rd ISNaS symposium opened in Netherlands in Sep. 1991. The history of the NAL`s computer system from 1960 to 1991, and the present numerical simulation facility mainly composed of FACOM supercomputers are outlined together with graphics terminals connected with host computers through LAN. The progress of the feasibility study of the numerical wind tunnel project released in 1989 is also outlined. On CFD researches at NAL, the studies of FEM grid generation methods, Euler/Navier-Stokes equation codes and turbulence models are presented. On applications to the national aerospace projects, those to the developmental projects of YXX, ASKA and SST, and the aerodynamic simulation results of the space vehicle HOPE are outlined as well as the future projects. 3 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs.
