Turbulence Contours in a Jet-Mixed Tank
This mixing tank simulation shows the evolution of turbulence from a quiescent initial condition. The mixing jet (shown in the lower right) is located at the bottom centerline of a large liquid tank, which must be periodically mixed.
Formula 1 Wing in Ground Effect
Proximity to the ground has a strong impact on the downforce and wake characteristics of this racing airfoil. CU-CCMS models can capture the unsteady & irregular wake characteristics, as well as ground separation, for this class of flows.
Effect of Wake Passing on Flow over a Compressor-like Flat Plate
This benchmark computation captures several well-documented transient effects. After initial separation at low turbulence levels, the boundary layer is re-energized and re-attaches because of a strong turbulence production.
Flow over a Cylinder, Normalized Velocity Contours
This classical validation case shows separation and vortex shedding behind a cylinder. CU-CCMS has published validation studies on unique CFD methods, covering the full range of Reynolds numbers.
Transient Aerodynamic Flow over a Light-Duty Truck
This transient aerodynamic simulation of a light-duty truck uses 52 million cells and a time step capable of capturing vortex shedding and shear-layer roll-up.
Normal-Jet-in-Crossflow for Film Cooling Applications: Close-up on Film Hole Leading Edge
The transient effects on the film-hole leading edge, as documented in previous experimental work, can be captured using unique methods developed at CU-CCMS.
Normal-Jet-in-Crossflow for Film Cooling Applications: Impact of Transient Effects
The normal jet in crossflow, a validation case for film-cooling applications, is strongly influenced by transient effects. Some, such as shear-layer roll-up at the film-hole leading edge, cannot be captured with traditional KE turbulence models.
