Forum 360: Aerospace Grand Challenge Problems for Revolutionary CFD Capabilities
Abstract:
The Aerospace industry requires significantly enhanced computational analysis methods and tools to enable improved performance, reduce product development risk, and enhance system safety for future air and space vehicles. As outlined in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Vision 2030 report published in 2014, grand challenge (GC) problems drive the identification and solution of the critical CFD barriers that would lead to a desired revolutionary CFD capability. For this purpose, several GC problems have been formulated to focus community attention and resources to address critical shortcomings in CFD predictive capability in key product and system categories. In this panel, a brief summary of each of four GC problems will be initially discussed, highlighting key technical obstacles and the quantified benefit to industrial product development in overcoming those obstacles. Panelists will then provide expert opinion on the design, execution, and importance of GC problems, and effective ways to engage the science and engineering communities to efficiently tackle these long-term focus problems.
