I'm working to determine the induced velocity on a particle due to every other particle in the fluid domain. In the fluid domain I am dealing with there are at least a million particles. But my question here concerns only two particles. What will be the order of induced velocity if the vorticity...

MOHR1951, yes, your suggestions helped me in learning about the method in question. But I was also able to find a book titled Vortex Methods and Vortex Motion by Karl E. Gustafson and James A. Sethian. The first two chapters in this book are gems. They really helped me understand the fundamental...

Thanks for your answer MOHR1951. I shall take a look at the books you just mentioned. vktsn0303

Hello everyone, Does anyone know of a good book to learn vortex methods from? I have tried learning about the methods from the book Vortex Methods-Theory and Practice written by Petros Koumoutsakos & Georges-Henri Cottet, but I'm unable to understand the fundamentals when reading that book. I'm...

Hello everyone, I want to numerically model the wake (near and far wake) of a wind turbine. Where do I begin my research on this topic? How much knowledge should I have to perform this? Thanks for your answers! vktsn0303

Hello everyone, I want to construct a NACA 23012 airfoil with a slotted flap using JavaFoil. I've been trying to learn how to do this by searching on google but it just doesn't seem to be helping. The JavaFoil's userguide pops up but it doesn't seem to be of much use to me. It would be helpful...

Hello everyone, I was reading about the strain rate tensor and other kinematic properties that can be obtained with the help of the velocity field and I was wondering if we could determine the streamlines if we had the strain rate tensor to start with. Let's say I have a strain rate tensor...

If I were to model the wake of a wind turbine using a certain numerical method should I, or should I not, take into consideration a turbulence model and couple it with the numerical method being implemented? It would be helpful to know the reasoning behind your explanations too. Thanks in...

How to export the XFOIL output (Cp VS chord plots) to a PDF file? vktsn0303

Hello CarloDaristotile, I have been trying many options but in vain. Could you please help me know how it's done? Thanks vktsn0303 vktsn0303

Hello everyone, I wanted to know if it was possible to route many possible routes between two given points with the input being just the two given points. Let us suppose point A(x1,y1,z1) is fixed and point B(x2, y2, z2) can be moved(either along a circle or translated along a vector but not...

Thanks MikeHalloran. I'll do that. vktsn0303

Hi everyone! I wanted to learn about the issues that the aerospace industry is currently facing. I searched on the internet about this but could not find a proper web site that explains the issues well. So I thought this forum was the right place to ask about this. I would be glad if anyone...

It works!! I added the executable file location to the path under system variables and it opens when I say 'start idle'. Thanks vktsn0303

Yes, going to the file location and running the executable starts it. I just wanted to open it through cmd. I feel it's easier to do that than going all the way into the file location and scrolling through the files and selecting one of many present there. When you say path I am assuming you are...
