Pipe Flow CFD Analysis - Reducing pressure drop and analyzing flow patterns & distribution

Sample project: https://app.airshaper.com/simulations/naca0015-more-lift-full-morph

In this video, we apply aerodynamic shape optimization using the adjoint technique to a 3D NACA 0015 airfoil.

The method runs through a number of cycles, each containing:
- a primal run (normal CFD simulation of the aerodynamics)
- a dual run (adjoint simulation to link the lift improvement goal to the flow field)
- a sensitivity map calculation (to calculate how the surface should be morphed to increase lift)
- a morphing step to implement these suggestions. The morphing is applied to the volume & surface mesh directly

Check the Cessna project: https://app.airshaper.com/simulations/cessna-public-3d-model-design-advice-for-lower-drag

In this video, we use AirShaper's Design Advice to learn how we can cut drag on a public 3D model of a Cessna. This technique uses "adjoint shape optimization" and allows users without simulation expertise to improve the aerodynamics of their design.

The Design Advice tells users where to push a surface outward (red) or inward (blue) along the local normal.

Reducing Aerodynamic Drag on a Cessna without expertise

In this video, we walk around the Koenigsegg Absolut to see how they improved the aerodynamics. This car does 0-400-0 in less that 28 seconds. For this, they needed to loose a lot of downforce in favor of a lower drag. They claim a drag coefficient Cd of less than 0.28 - that's really low for a hyper car!

In this video, we apply aerodynamic shape optimization using the adjoint technique to the Ahmed Body. This famous geometry was used to benchmark CFD codes, correlate to wind tunnel test data and so on for automotive related aerodynamics projects.

The method runs through a number of cycles, each containing:
- a primal run (normal CFD simulation of the aerodynamics)
- a dual run (adjoint simulation to link the drag reduction goal to the flow field)
- a sensitivity map calculation (to calculate how the surface should be morphed to reduce drag)
