🎉 Master CFD Analysis with ONERA M6 Wing - A Deep Dive into Geometry Modeling and Meshing 🛫

Course Overview:

CAD modeling of ONERA M6 wing in Solidworks and domain creation in Spaceclaim for CFD Study

🚀 Introduction to the ONERA M6 Wing: The iconic ONERA M6 wing has been a staple in the field of aerodynamics for decades. This classical test case, known for its complex transonic flow features, presents a challenging yet educative opportunity for CFD enthusiasts and professionals alike. With a rich history dating back to 1972, when it was designed by ONERA's Aerodynamics Department, this wing has been instrumental in studying three-dimensional, high Reynolds number flows.

📚 Course Series Breakdown:

Part 1 (This Course) You will master the art of Geometry Modeling in Solidworks and Domain Creation in Spaceclaim, following the guidelines provided by the AGARD AR 138 1979 report by Schmitt, V. and F. Charpin.

Part 2 This segment will focus on creating a high-quality hexa meshing for the M6 wing in ICEMCFD, ensuring precision at the boundary layer and shock wave regions.

Part 3 In the final part, you'll learn to conduct a high-quality CFD analysis using Fluent and master post-processing techniques to extract meaningful data such as lift and drag coefficients, as well as coefficient of pressure at various span locations.

🎯 Learning Outcomes: By the end of this comprehensive three-part tutorial, you will be equipped with the skills to:

1. Perform CFD simulations of external, viscous, compressible flow around 3D geometries at transonic conditions using various turbulence models and appropriate Y+ values.
2. Understand the entire process involved in high-fidelity CFD analysis, including geometry creation, meshing, CFD setup, solution, and post-processing.
3. Validate your CFD results against experimental data from the AGARD report.
