CFD Analysis Skill

Purpose

Provide deep integration with computational fluid dynamics tools for comprehensive aerodynamic analysis across subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flight regimes.

Capabilities

• ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, Star-CCM+ workflow automation
• Mesh generation and quality assessment
• Turbulence model selection and configuration
• Boundary condition specification for various flow regimes
• Post-processing and force/moment extraction
• Mesh independence study automation
• Flow visualization and contour generation
• Convergence monitoring and criteria definition

Usage Guidelines

• Select appropriate turbulence models based on flow regime and Reynolds number
• Ensure mesh quality metrics meet industry standards before running simulations
• Perform mesh independence studies to validate solution accuracy
• Use appropriate boundary conditions for the specific flight condition
• Monitor residuals and force/moment convergence during simulations
• Document all simulation parameters for traceability and reproducibility
