I am sure like many of you who are actively involved in Aerospace/Aviation CFD we are eager for the 4th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop (HLPW-4) which is scheduled for January 7th in San Diego, CA. It has been over four years since the 3rd workshop (HLPW-3)! If you haven’t registered yet visit SCI TECH’s registration page for more information. For those coming from colder climates it certainly doesn’t hurt that the upcoming workshop is scheduled to be held...

In this article, we illustrate a typical workflow of using XFoil, Engineering Sketch Pad (ESP), Pointwise, and Flow360 to analyze the aerodynamic performance of a wing-body configuration. The goal is to perform RANS simulations of several airplane models, each with a wing and a fuselage, and to compute the drag and induced flow downstream of the airplanes. In less than half an hour, one can go from a pure concept to concrete CFD solutions, with outputs ranging from key quantities...
