The French engineering company Sirehna has been developing and promoting optimal design approaches, especially involving CFD, for a long time. Their current policy is to combine the advantages of the most efficient flow pre- and post-processoring tools (Gridgen and Fieldview) together with Frontier, an advanced tool for design space investigation and optimization, to form an automatic
system for design optimization.
The FLUENT flow solver is used in the two following applications,
however, the optimization process is independent from the
choice of flow solver.
Other applications have been developed using ICARE, a dedicated solver for free surface flows in viscous fluid around a ship hull.
