 The
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Group of
Computational Research Laboratories is
primarily engaged in finding innovative
solutions to the challenging fluid flow
problems faced by the industry and
scientific community.
The key team members
of the CFD team have background in various
applications of CFD in aerospace,
mechanical, thermal and chemical domains.
The vision of the CFD group is to provide
scalable solutions to intricate flow
problems involving complex geometries,
non-standard physics, motion and multiple
phases. We plan to exploit the unique
interconnect architecture of CRL HPC systems
to incorporate new physics models, state of
the art turbulence capture and novel
numerical schemes so as to give realistic
simulations to the problems that have not
been tried on conventional platforms. Some
of the key problems handled by CFD group are
in the areas of external aerodynamics of
aircraft configurations, high speed flows
and shock capturing, microfluidics,
incompressible flow through porous media and
Lattice Boltzmann approach to flow
simulations. CFD Group has expertise in all
phases of analysis, namely, geometry
definition, mesh generation, choice of
turbulence models, solvers and
post-processing. It adds value to its
customers through virtual prototyping of the
customer system, be it a device, process or
equipment. By using numerical simulation,
the group obviates the need for expensive
and time-taking experiments so as to save
cost and shrink design cycle time. The
engineering industry is facing multitude of
challenges due to intense global
competition, cost reduction and short
product lifetimes. To stay competitive,
engineers are increasingly depending on
numerical simulation for a host of their
problems. On the other hand, high
performance computers are being offered at
very attractive price-points. The CFD group
is using this confluence of changes to
provide great value to our customers and
partners.
