NUMECA is pleased to announce the introduction of Non-Deterministic Simulation within its software systems.

 

NODESIM-CFD is a Specific Targeted Research Project financed by the European Commission-s Sixth Framework Programme. It involves a team of 17 collaborators working in the aeronautical industry, and includes consulting companies, research institutions and software companies.

The objective of NODESIM-CFD is to introduce these uncertainties within the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation process by applying non-deterministic methodologies in order to obtain an associated domain of variation of the predicted output quantities, instead of a single value. Tools for the evaluation and quantification of uncertainties in aerodynamic and thermal performance predictions will be developed, supporting the aeronautical industry goals of enhanced design confidence, risk reduction and improved safety.

NUMECA is the coordinator of the project. NODESIM-CFD Consortium comprises 19 organisations from 8 European countries, including 11 partners from industry with 8 industrial corporations active in the aeronautical and power generation fields, as mainframe and engine manufacturers and an engineering consultant company, 3 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) active in the CFD and design software domains, 3 partners from research establishments and 5 academic institutions.
