Multiphysics-focused CFD Solutions for Hypersonic Vehicles

CAE tools are an effective way to gain design insight during the development of hypersonic vehicles as wind tunnel tests struggle to replicate the extreme conditions during flight and are used late in the design phase. They are also very costly to perform. However, these simulation tools often solve different physics separately, neglecting the multi-physics effect, such as fluid-structure interaction, seen under real-world conditions. In addition, each tool usually requires technical experts in its simulation field. This means they are unable to perform true multi-physics simulations in a daily design workflow. Hexagon provides an innovative CFD solution known for its ease of use and accuracy for supersonic and hypersonic flow. Together with the Hexagon CAE portfolio, with a strong pedigree of co-simulation, it is easy to couple CFD with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) to perform two- or three-way transient multi-physics focused co-simulations. This New horizons webinar covers the current state of Hexagon CFD solutions for hypersonic flow simulations, including: • Predicting the aerothermodynamic flow field around various objects and showcasing validation cases • Fluid-Structure interaction for structural integrity • Safe store separation predictions Share this page with others your organisation who may be interested in benefiting from this webinar.
