Ítem 2D simulation flue implementing the lattice-boltzmann method(TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2014-01-01) Ruiz, D.B.; Mesa, A.A.; Alvis, R.G.; Ruiz, D.B.; Mesa, A.A.; Alvis, R.G.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecánica AplicadaCurrently in the process of engineering, but increasingly implemented simulation methods since they are an economical and feasible to predict the behavior of some variable you wish to benefit. The problem of fluid simulation is a broad field of study, traditionally in this area are implemented domain discretization methods, volumes, differences or finite elements (Computational Fluid Dynamics), in this work, a different approach where the discretization is made on the physical properties of fluid and the fluid for reconstruction from its microscopic properties, simulating these, propagating Boltzmann distribution functions for the grid of nodes, this set is comprised of a fluid group of nodes, nodes fluid the border and nodes structure, docked the method to the boundary conditions necessary to simulate Glycerol in a pipe. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Ítem Aerodynamic effects of manufacturing tolerances on a solar car(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2017-01-01) Betancur, E.; Fragassa, C.; Coy, J.; Hincapie, S.; Osorio-Gómez, G.In the case of solar vehicles, since the primary necessity is to optimise the energy efficiency during motion, many efforts are addressed by designers in searching the perfect aerodynamics. It means, in particular, the minimization of the drag force at cruising speeds and an elaborated vehicle’s Computer-Aided Design (CAD) are the principal result of this activity. Despite, these efforts can be nullified by geometrical tolerances emerging from manufacturing. In this paper, the effects of tolerances introduced by composite manufacturing processes are investigated combining 3D scanning technology and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). After the solar car manufacturing, a reverse engineering process is executed with the aim to scan the vehicle’s body and compare it to the initial theoretical design. Geometric deviations are found and their aerodynamic consequences are evaluated in terms of aerodynamic losses. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.Ítem Computational steering of CFD simulations using a grid computing environment(Springer-Verlag France, 2015-01-01) García M.; Duque J.; Boulanger P.; Figueroa P.; Mecánica AplicadaSimulation of complex phenomena is usually a long computing process and it has been traditionally performed in batch mode on large high performance computing (HPC) systems. However, advances in computer processing and networking capabilities can now be used to monitor and alter simulation parameters whilst it is running. This process is called computational steering. By combining this capability with advanced communication tools, it is now possible for a group of scientists located across the world to work collaboratively while visualising on-going simulations. This raise the possibility that researches can now share their experience and promote new ideas and solutions by exploring collaboratively the solution space of a complex simulation. In this paper, a collaborative computational steering environment specialised to solve CFD problems is presented. © 2014, Springer-Verlag France.Ítem Influence of energy consumption on battery sizing of electric fluvial vessels: a Colombian Case Study(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-09-12) Giraldo, E.; Gaviria, Gregorio; Betancur E.; Gómez, G.O.; Mejá-Gutiérrez, R.; Giraldo, E.; Gaviria, Gregorio; Betancur E.; Gómez, G.O.; Mejá-Gutiérrez, R.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Diseño; Ingeniería de Diseño (GRID)Electric vessels represent a sustainable solution for fluvial mobility. However, their energy demand is higher compared to terrestrial vehicles, so that, increasing the hydrodynamic efficiency is mandatory.Ítem Low altitude wind simulation over mount saint helens using NASA SRTM digital terrain model(2007-01-01) Garcia, M.J.; Boulanger, P.; Garcia, M.J.; Boulanger, P.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecánica AplicadaOn February 11, 2000, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) was launched into space as part of one of the pay load of the Shuttle Endeavor. Using a new radar sweeping technique most of the Earth's surfaces was digitized in 3D in approximately 10 days. SRTM acquired enough data during its mission to obtain a near-global high-resolution database of the Earth's topography. This paper describe how this revolutionary data set can be used to simulate anywhere around the Earth low altitude wind conditions for various atmospheric conditions. More specifically, we will describe the various processing steps necessary to convert this high-resolution terrain model provided by the SRTM database into a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) volumetric mesh that is compatible with an open source CFD solver called OpenFOAM running in parallel on large West-Grid supercomputers. This work is the result of a new virtual wind-tunnel under development at the University of Alberta. In the paper, we present wind flow over the MountSaint Helens in the United States for a simple wind flow boundary condition. © 2006 IEEE.Ítem Modeling and simulation of an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for surveillance and inspection of port facilities using CFD tools(2008-01-01) Valencia, R.A.; Ramírez, J.A.; Gutiérrez, L.B.; García, M.J.; Valencia, R.A.; Ramírez, J.A.; Gutiérrez, L.B.; García, M.J.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecánica AplicadaThis article presents theoretical and computational studies with Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) tools of an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), required to obtain reliable visual information, used for surveillance and maintenance of ship shells and underwater structures of Colombian port facilities. The thrust force is analyzed at the operational conditions by using CFD tools (FLUENT™, CFX™, COSMOSFLOW™) and the information about forces, torques and power of the vehicle's thrusters is obtained. The commercial propellers were modeled by using a reverse engineering process with a 3D scanner and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software (RAPIDFORM™). The results obtained with the CFD package allowed to evaluate several operating scenarios of the vehicle that are used for feedback purposes in the design process of the ROV before it be manufactured.

Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecánica AplicadaAdvances in computer processing power and networking over the past few years have brought significant changes to the modeling and simulation of complex phenomena. Problems that formerly could only be tackled in batch mode, with their results visualized afterwards, can now be monitored whilst in progress using graphical means. In certain cases, it is even possible to alter parameters of the computation whilst it is running, depending on what the scientist perceives in the current visual output. This ability to monitor and change parameters of the computational process at any time and from anywhere is called computational steering. Combining this capability with advanced multi-modal tools to explore the data produced by these systems are key to our approach. In this paper, we present an advanced multi-modal interface where sonification and 3D visualization are used in a computational steering environment specialized to solve real-time Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) problems. More specifically, this paper describes how sonification of CFD data can be used to augment 3D visualization. © 2006 IEEE.Ítem Multi-modal interface for fluid dynamics simulations using 3-D localized sound(SPRINGER, 2007-01-01) Taylor, R.; Kazakevich, M.; Boulanger, P.; Garcia, M.; Bischof, W.F.; Taylor, R.; Kazakevich, M.; Boulanger, P.; Garcia, M.; Bischof, W.F.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecánica AplicadaMulti-modal capabilities can be added to a simulation system in order to enhance data comprehension. We describe a system for adding sonification capabilities to a real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulator. Our system uses Max/MSP modules to add sonic properties to CFD solutions. The enhancements described in this paper allow users to locate sound sources in a 3-D environment using stereo auditory cues to identify data features. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
