rbf-morph

This first tutorial is very useful to understand the functionality of RBF Morph with a simple and small Fluent model. The geometry investigated is a very simplified external aerodynamic problem: a bluff body (a perfect cube with edges of 1m) is immersed into a virtual wind tunnel (10m long, 5m wide, 3m high) located at 3m from the inlet and at 6m from the outlet.

The scope of this tutorial is to show the capability of RBF Morph to handle a parametric modellization of a real-life industrial problem. More specifically, the geometry is a turbine blade and it’s rotation and twist are parameterized; the mesh is then morphed successfully for a wide range of the parameters combinations, despite the presence of very close boundaries to be preserved.

This tutorial shows how RBF Morph can be used for the optimization of an engine component. The airbox of a FSAE is built using flat metallic sheets (a cheap manufacturing solution). However even for a simple design mass flow balancing is a concern; for this reason several shapes have been investigated to find the optimal layout for maximizing mass-flow with uniform charging of the cylinders.
