    Order of induced velocities due to vorticity

    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...

    Book to learn Vortex Methods from.

    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...

    Wind Turbine wake modeling

    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

    JavaFoil

    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...

    Sketching streamlines

    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...

    Using a turbulence model in a numerical wake modeling technique

    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...

    Routing Electrical - routing many routes between two points

    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...

    What programming languages should an aerospace engineer know?

    I thought aerospace engineers used only MATLAB extensively. But on the internet I have come across articles that suggest learning JAVA and VBA to be helpful. Is it true that even aerospace engineers use languages like JAVA, C++ and VBA extensively? vktsn0303

    Learning to customize NX

    Hi everyone! I have been working with NX for a couple of years now. I have an idea that can be made use of by customizing NX. I have never customized an application before and I have no knowledge on NX Open (I am assuming it is with NX Open that we customize) but I do have an experience in...
