Press Release Summary:
Turb'Design(TM) v2 enables implementation of second-order sensitivity analyses in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. It facilitates assessment of sensitive parameters and their impact on performance. Decision-making support program, Turb'Opty divides aerodynamic calculation time by more than 1,000, offering access to thousands of solutions within one operation. It offers plug-in for existing internal or commercial computing sequences, increasing capacity of base solver.
Original Press Release:
Fluorem Announces Turb'Design(TM) 2 and Turb'Opty(TM), Two New Software Progams to Revolutionize Aerodynamic Design (CFD)
Fluorem, the French fluid dynamics software publisher, is pursuing the development of its Flow Design Office applications suite. Two new programs - Turb'Design(TM) 2 and Turb'Opty(TM) - are being added to the software tools already available to professionals in the aeronautics, automotive, chemicals and nuclear sectors who work in computation fluid dynamics design.
Version 2 of the Turb'Design(TM) program is a robust design tool that enables the implementation of second-order sensitivity analyses in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Turb'Design(TM) 2 facilitates successful assessment of the most sensitive parameters and their impact on performance. It also improves conditions for the end product's long run launch as early as the design stage when associated with other resources such as computer-aided design. Users have a precise knowledge of the influence of each parameter considered independently depending on the desired objective with only a reference calculation and a few Turb'Design(TM) 2 runs. For example, engineers now have the means of calculating the influence of ice accretion on wing lift and of anticipating the size and location of the de-icing system on the wing.
Turb'Opty(TM) is a decision-making support program that divides the aerodynamic calculation time by more than 1,000, offering access to thousands of solutions within just one operation. It creates the best shape in terms of drag and stability within a few hours, sometimes minutes, whereas more "conventional" applications may require days of analysis. For example, it is capable of studying the influence of a car windshield slant and of the tailgate, both at the same time, according to the vehicle's speed or prevailing crosswind. Turb'Opty(TM) is a plug-in for already existing internal or commercial computing sequences, increasing the capacity of the base solver. Once the database is built up, it can be used directly by a non-specialist flow simulation designer.
Turb'Design(TM) 2 and Turb'Opty(TM), operate under Linux, IRIX (SGI) and AIX (IBM). Descriptions of these new programs can be downloaded from Fluorem's web site: www.fluorem.com.
The two new programs take their place alongside the other software in the Flow Design Office line: Turb'Flow(TM) (solver), Turb'Design(TM) 1 (program for first-order sensitivity study and design assistance), Turb'Mesh(TM) (preprocessor designed to work with Turb'Opty(TM)), Turb'Post(TM) (dedicated to operating the Turb'Opty(TM) database) and Turb'View(TM) (postprocessor).
Fluorem will be present at the 46th International Paris Air Show (Le Bourget - France) from June 13 to 19, 2005 at the Pavillon des Entreprises Rhône-Alpes, Hall 4, Booth D11.
About Fluorem:
Since 2000, Fluorem, based in Ecully (near Lyon), provides service to industry leaders in aeronautics, car making and general industry. It publishes CFD (Computation Fluid Dynamics) software; distributes Canadian software in France made by the company Newmerical Technologies International; and offers technical research and consulting in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Fluorem is a partner in the European research program known as Proband, which is dedicated to reducing the broadband noise produced by jet engine fans. The company's international emphasis enables it to cultivate partnerships with large international groups: Airbus, Alcatel, Areva, Eurocopter, Snecma, Valeo, etc.
