Digital Aerodynamics Rapid Testing (DART) Program

In this project, students use a two-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes solver in Matlab to simulate flows around stationary solid objects and analyze the lift and drag they produce.

How it works:

Students submit the geometry through email;
A FAST team member will assist the student to perform a simulation utilizing Matlab (a 30 to 45-min session);
Analysis of the lift and drag forces produced by the object (a 60-min session);

The lift-to-drag ratio of this burger is 0.228, i.e., very poor lift generation while producing nearly 4X drag.

Requirement for the geometry.

Schematic of the computational domain. The geometry will be scaled to fit into the refined grid region at x=0

Submission Guidelines

1. The submission window opens up every Thursday at 8 am.

2. Name your picture as "Date[mm/dd/yyyy]_[student's full name]_[student's email]". For instance, 02162023_JohnDoe_jd@olemiss.edu.png

3. Email wu@go.olemiss.edu your picture

After submission, a FAST team member will contact the first (valid) submitter of the week by email to arrange a time to help the student to perform the simulation in our lab!
