CFD analysis and validation of ONERA M6 in ANSYS Workbench

This course aims the aspirants who want to advance their knowledge in aerodynamic CFD. Students will learn to apply ANSYS CFD package suit to solve a complex 3D test case known as "ONERA M6 wing"

This course is designed to take advantage of ANSYS workbench's integrated and simple environment to concentrate on learning rather than going into complex software learning. The student will learn to import geometry and inspect it. After that students will set the proper environment in ANSYS workbench meshing to define sizes for different geometry features. We will also use the size function to capture tight curvature on the tip region of the wing. We will also apply a body of influence to refine the mesh in the wake region and region around the wing to capture important flow features.

We will set up boundary conditions, material properties, turbulence models, flow schemes, solvers, report definitions, and convergence criteria. We will use FMG (FAS multigrid) to accelerate convergence and we will use solution steering to automatically increase or decrease courant to accelerate solution convergence.

We will use NASA data for drag, lift, and moment coefficient to compare our results for similar parameters. We will also use experimental Cp (coefficient of pressure) values at different span locations of the wing to compare and validate our CFD. And we also discuss results in terms of pressure contours etc.
