Architecture and construction principles for Computational Fluid Dynamics software for engineering in industry

For flow simulation around (parts of) aerospace vehicles, aerospace industry needs CFD software. For users in industry, not only the functionality of the software is relevant. Timely availability and cost of the first version and later versions are other relevant factors. These factors are represented in the software characteristics timeliness,...

Data compression in computational fluid dynamics

Computations in numerical fluid dynamics create large sets of data. Transmission of these datasets requires a high speed communication link or, alternatively, the use of data compression techniques. This report describes the results of a study to the applicability of data compression techniques. An algorithm is designed that yields favourable...
