Experimental rime ice shape

FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB)
April 09, 2020

The Department of Engineering Cybernetics at Norwegian University of Science and Technology uses Pointwise to help solve the problem of icing on drones in this case study, “How to Mesh a Frozen Drone.”

Icing is a severe hazard that significantly limits the usage of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods are a vital tool for understanding the effects of icing on UAVs. One of the most challenging tasks for the simulation is the generation of high-quality meshes of complex ice shapes. Find out how Pointwise met the challenge and decreased the mesh creation time with its automation.
