Webinar: ANSYS CFD Solutions for Hypersonics

The recent surge in the interest in hypersonic technology has highlighted the need to accurately and efficiently simulate these complex flowfields using CFD tools. Computer simulations for the design and analysis of hypersonic vehicles is critical since it is often impossible to reproduce the high-Mach number, high-enthalpy conditions in a wind tunnel.

Simulating the hypersonic flow regime with CFD tools presents several challenges, ranging from the accurate modeling of the complex physical phenomena, such as compressibility effects, shock-boundary layer interaction, high temperatures, dissociation and ionization of air, ablation of solid surfaces and, ultimately, magnetohydrodynamics effects, to the stabilization of the numerical algorithms used to solve the governing equations.

In this seminar we will show how ANSYS CFD tools are used to simulate high speed flows and to design hypersonic vehicles, by touching on the capabilities of the CFD tools and describing case studies.
