FINE/Aero

 

A Powerful 3D-CFD Tool for External Flows

EURANUS/AERO, a 3D powerful numerical simulator integrated in FINE/AERO

Technical Specifications

  • 3D REYNOLDS-AVERAGED NAVIER-STOKES SOLVER
  • STRUCTURED, MULTIBLOCK MESH

EURANUS/AERO has a structured  multiblock approach for handling complex geometries.

In addition the code supports non-continuous grid lines through block connections, allowing a large flexibility in multiblock mesh definition. 

Provides a natural mechanism for parallelization by assigning different blocks to different processors.

  • SPATIAL DISCRETIZATION
    EURANUS/AERO contains a variety of
        numerical schemes:
  • Central schemes
  • Upwind high resolution schemes
  • TIME INTEGRATION
  • Explicit Runge-Kutta schemes
  • Implicit relaxation schemes
  • MULTIGRID CONVERGENCE ACCELERATION
  • MACH NUMBER RANGE FROM VERY LOW SPEED TO TRANSONIC / SUPER  / HYPERSONIC REGIME
  • TURBULENCE MODELS
    Algebraic and various transport equation
    models are available, with 
    or without wall functions 

  • REAL OR PERFECT FLUIDS
  • CHEMICAL CAPABILITIES
    EURANUS/AERO is handling multi species with or without chemical reactions
  • STEADY OR UNSTEADY FLOWS
  • FULL 3D, TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND AXISYMMETRIC SIMULATIONS
Fields of Applications

EURANUS/TURBO can simulate any compressible or incompressible flow, with or without chemical reactions such as:

  • flow around cars, aircraft or ships
  • flow around buildings
  • species dispersion

 

Time accurate simulation of unsteady separation on a wind turbine section 150º incidence (Re=2E6,M=0.3) in 3 different time conditions

 
Oblique supersonic exhaust nozzle, k-e wall function simulation

 

 

Portability
  • VECTORIZED VERSION
    EURANUS/AERO is highly vectorized with high
    performances on supercomputer and workstations
  • PARALLEL VERSION
    EURANUS/AERO-PARALLEL has been optimised for distributed and massive parallel processors systems
Stand alone installation

EURANUS/AERO has a very simple data format, enabling to be easily connected to industrial pre- and post-processor

  • A FULLY INTEGRATED PLATFORM, combining:
  • IGG, an Interactive Geometry Modelling and Grid Generation System, providing the most advanced and original tools for multiblock 3D structured grids
  • EURANUS/AERO
  • CFView, a Computational Field Visualization System, offering all qualitative and quantitative flow analysis tools through a highly interactive object-oriented interface
  • Transparent data transfer. An internal system is taking care of the file transfer between the processes. No file editing or user intervention is necessary
  • Coarse grid computation.

Before launching the code on the finer grid, the user can run a simulation on any possible lower grid levels without any grid manipulation

  • Computational Steering.

Through the use of menu items, the user can control the evolution of the solution, stop, interrupt or resume the computation from any previous solution

Easy Navigation through the different systems. At any time during the computation, the user can access IGG or CFView to modify the grid or check intermediate results, without interrupting the CFD run

  • CUSTOMIZED MULTIWINDOW DISPLAY OF COMPUTED DATA
  • DIRECT OUTPUT OF LIFT, DRAG & MOMENTS.
Support

NUMECA Int. provides technical assistance and hot line support. In addition NUMECA Int. proposes 3-to-5 days introductory or advanced training for the FINE/AERO system

Fluid Dynamics Consultancy

NUMECA Int. has developed a unique expertise in the field of CFD applications. Based on this experience and the performance of our tools, we offer consultancy services for the simulation of aerodynamics components

Other Services

  • Customisation of the NUMECA Environment input/output according to the specific customer needs
  • Development of Graphical User Interfaces and Integrated environments between EURANUS/AERO and industrial or in-house pre- and post-processors.
