CFD Applications for Fluid-Structure Interactions

Synopsis

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can be a powerful tool used to assist in structural analysis. This presentation will first discuss some CFD modelling methods and then how these can be integrated into wider projects. Followed by a case study, highlighting high pressure air venting onto a simple plate.

Whilst the CFD example is not complex, it will give a good insight into the considerations required when scoping and developing a CFD investigation, along with a greater understanding of what level of data output can be expected.

About the Speakers

C Nolan has been working at the global engineering consultancy, AtkinsRéalis for almost 2 years as a CFD engineer. Her team sits within the infrastructure sector, but her work involves a large amount of cross discipline studies. C regularly performs investigations in; hydrodynamics, aerodynamics and thermodynamics helping design engineers in; water, transport, infrastructure, buildings, nuclear, defence and renewables markets, highlighting the vast range of CFD applications throughout engineering. Prior to this, C spent 4 years working in the National Wind Tunnel Facility at the University of Glasgow performing CFD and experimental research for her PhD in Aerospace Engineering.
