Among the seven problems is a call for the solution to the Navier-Stokes Equations. The challenge is to make substantial progress toward a mathematical theory which will unlock the secrets hidden in the Navier-Stokes equations.

In order to be awarded the prize, the solution must prove one of the four following statements:

1. Existence and smoothness of Navier–Stokes solutions on R³
2. Existence and smoothness of Navier–Stokes solutions in R³/Z³
3. Breakdown of Navier–Stokes solutions on R³
4. Breakdown of Navier–Stokes Solutions on R³/Z³

Since we don ’t even know whether these solutions exist our understanding is at a very primitive level. Standard methods from PDE appear inadequate to settle the problem. Instead we probably need some deep new ideas.

Dr. Davis is one of the people who answers the “will it fly right” question when confronted with next generation modifications. He helps assure that any modifications to aero/propulsion capabilities, airframe additions including antennas, and other changes maintain and enhance performance.

Dr. Davis and his team gauge adaptations on the computer, using two remarkable programs (among other tools): Gridgen and Overflow. Gridgen is Pointwise Inc.’s grid generation and pre-processing CFD enabling bridge connecting computer aided design (CAD) software and CFD solvers such as Overflow, Fluent, STAR-CD, and CFX. The program generates hexahedral, tetrahedral, and hybrid (prisms and pyramids) meshes, reads geometry from CAD systems, and includes meshing tools and direct solver interfaces. Overflow is a Navier-Stokes flow solver that uses single block grids or Chimera overset (structured) grid systems. Chimera overset grids are body-fitted hexahedral grids around each component. They can overlap each other instead of requiring exact point-to-point interface matching like traditional structured grids. This makes the engineer’s grid generation task faster and easier while maintaining accuracy.

Engineous is in discussions with over 30 major vendors in the fields of CAE, structural analysis, CFD and CAD software, specialized design tools, hardware platforms, infrastructure software and solutions providers. The program kick-off is marked by the signing of seven partners: Rand Worldwide, Infosys, Platform Computing Corporation, Engineering Intent, TranscenData ITI, Romax Technology, and Cranfield University. In addition, Georgia Tech ASDL has pledged its intent to join. More announcements are expected over the next few weeks.

The CD adapco Group offers all European users the opportunity of understanding of how to set-up and effectively run three dimensional STAR-CD analyses coupled to a one dimensional engine simulation code, GT-POWER.

The course is aimed at giving the STAR-CD user an understanding of how to set-up and effectively run three dimensional STAR-CD analyses coupled to a one dimensional engine simulation code. The course will use GT-POWER as the engine simulation code. For some components, a more stable and realistic STAR-CD analysis is obtained by allowing the unsteady STAR-CD analysis results to interact with (influence) the domain boundary conditions. In addition to instruction, the course will provide the STAR-CD user with hands-on experience through use of a worked example. The course also offers the user the opportunity to interact with an experienced engineer who has run several coupled analyses.

STARWorks, which uses the STAR-CD solver, is an easy-to-use tool designed for engineers/designers who require a quick and cost effective way to perform simple fluid flow and heat transfer simulations within an environment they are familar with - CAD!

...and down the road, when you need a more powerful CFD tool, learn how STAR-Works gives you an easy migration to the full advanced features of STAR-CD.
