Numerical simulation using RANS-based tools for America's Cup design

Mark Sawley, Nicola Parolini

The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier- Stokes (RANS) equations to the design of sailing yachts is becoming more commonplace, particularly for the America's Cup. Drawing on the experience of the Ec ...

Optimization of a Kenics static mixer for non-creeping flow conditions

Mark Sawley

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been employed for the optimization of the mixing efficiency of a Kenics static mixer. A series of numerical simulations has been undertaken for non-creeping flow conditions to determine the optimal twist angle of the ...

1999

The use of a high-performance parallel computer system has been investigated to compute the incompressible flow and mixing efficiency of a static mixer. The flow computation is performed using a conventional Eulerian approach, by resolving the governing fl ...

High-performance parallel computing for incompressible flow simulations

Mark Sawley, Michel Deville

High-performance parallel computer systems have been employed to compute a variety of three-dimensional incompressible fluid flows. Three different numerical methods have been used for the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations, with domain decompos ...

Distributed run-time visualization and solution steering of parallel flow simulations

Mark Sawley

A run-time visualization and solution-steering tool, TPview, has been developed to overcome difficulties commonly encountered with large-scale numerical simulations on high-performance parallel computer systems. TPview provides the interface between the pa ...

Ion-Cyclotron Modes in a Low-Density Plasma Cavity

Mark Sawley

Ion cyclotron modes excited in a low density, cylindrical plasma cavity using an external inductive antenna are investigated theoretically and experimentally. These modes, which have a long parallel wavelength, exhibit a strong electrostatic character and ...
