Heeya Spacefarers!!

Just purely out of curiosity. is there any Browncoat working in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)? Studying or Working in an industrial setting?

I remember someone here saying that he was working one missile plumes, or some such. But, that's as close as I've seen referenced here. Though it probably might involves CFD. If there is a more specific question, that might prove more fruitful.

It is indeed in the wrong place. Talk Story would have been where this should have been posted. For future reference, when you click on one of the link to the message boards (right of the thread listings on the front page), a description is at the top of what should be posted on that board.

Hey Aught3 ,

You thinkin' 'bout runnin' a CFD aerodynamics

analysis of our Shiny ship ?

That's the notion! Well, running a CFD analysis for the whole ship would be require serious amount of work and not to mention the data for the surface profile! I have Serenity Blue Prints from QMx (Limited Edition, mine is numbered 30!;-) ), but dimensions alone won't help. Plus this is a space vehicle, which travels through all the regions of atmosphere. So that analysis is going to be seriously complex! Different regimes of fluid flow apply, depending upon where it is located during flight. e.g. on the edge of the atmosphere, it would be rarified gas flow. I am not sure but I guess someday, I will have carried out the analysis and posted pretty pictures like these:

Where are you going to school/working , Jari ?

Would it help you to have 3d Meshes of Serenity ?

I'd love to see what you do with CFD and our

ship !

Meanwhile , I realized that that you are an

ideal recruit for our BROWNCOAT space project !

http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/SPACEBORNEFORCES

...And a little video from our Sponsor :

http://www.jpaerospace.com/video/Floating_w_Commentary.mov

We'd be pleased to have you along...There's been

some amazing stuff done already , with more to

come !

Something like that. I do boost phase and plume analysis and modeling for SMDC. We do use CFD codes to predict aerothermal heating, nozzle flow fields and plume impingement. I can tell you right now that you won’t be able to develop a CFD model that generates scenes for Serenity. We’ve already tried it with the Millennium Falcon. These kinds of things look cool in the movies, but any real physics based flowfields applied to them will require material properties that just don’t exist. I guess you could play with the material properties until you got something that worked, but that's a lot of work just for pretty pictures.
