- High Speed Computation Compressible CFD Solver V-FaSTAR 1.0
- Takeru Fukuchi, General-purpose CFD Group, Engineering Department 1, VINAS Co., Ltd.
- JAXA has developed a high speed computation CFD solver, FaSTAR. V-FaSTAR is a product in which VINAS added useful functions based on FaSTAR. V-FaSTAR has two main features; One is that the reliability of the CFD solver is high and the solver computation is fast. Another is economical efficiency. The licensing fee is not dependent on the number of jobs and the parallel number. The features and application examples of V-FaSTAR are introduced in the presentation.

- Development of a highly efficient fluid solver “FaSTAR” pursuing the world's fastest compute speed
- Dr. Yuichi Matsuo, Head
Dr. Atsushi Hashimoto, Researcher
Numerical Simulation Research Group,Institute of Aeronautical Technology,
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
|
   |
FaSTAR (FAST Aerodynamic Routines) is a fast CFD code using unstructured mesh and consists of software tools for pre-processing, solving and post-processing. One of its main features is its high speed, achieved by incorporating a simple data structure, sorting of data for efficient memory access, parallelization by domain subdivision and convergence acceleration by the multigrid method. The presentation provides a technical overview of FaSTAR. |

- A review of SCULPTOR’s latest new features, capabilities, and applications
- Mr. Phillip Belnap
President, Optimal Solutions Software, LLC
|
   |
New exciting applications of Sculptor’s shape optimization will be shown including the optimization of automobile aftermarket parts such as the rear wing for the Nissan GTR. A discussion of the OpenFOAM CFD model creation and solution (on the Cloud), defining the shape change variables, and using Sculptor’s Optimization Control Center to perform the shape optimization. The latest features in Sculptor V3.6 will be introduced, including improvements to Shape Matching, additional import/export interfaces to Autodesk SIM CFD, LSDyna, CRUNCH, and others codes, a new powerful Sculptor Server where Sculptor’s features can be called via network communication with library calls from a client software program, thus allowing any program to incorporate any of Sculptor’s features into their tools. |

- Design shape optimization of HVAC by using SCULPTOR
- Mr. Akira Sakano
Lead Engineer, R&D Division. Fundamental Technology Research Dept. Analysis Technology Group, SANDEN CORPORATION
|
   |
This presentation provides an overview of an example in which SCULPTOR was used in shape optimization for HVAC. In order to achieve an objective of having a uniform velocity through an evaporator, the optimal shape was searched for by using a response surface based on the latin hypercube sampling method for evaluation of effects of design variables. |
