Development and Validation of Parallel Distributed Computing Environment for Aerostructural CFD Analysis

Abstract

Prediction and computer control of aeroelastic phenomena is a complex multi-disciplinary problem due to the interaction of aerodynamic, elastic and inertia forces on the aircraft structure. Lack of integration among computer programs that serve different disciplines, such as aerodynamics and structures, has posed a major obstacle to accurate aeroelastic analysis. The Multi-Disciplinary Computing Environment (MDICE) has been developed to help solve this problem. MDICE enables engineering analysis codes to perform coupled multi-disciplinary analysis in a distributed computing environment. A unique feature is that existing engineering analysis codes are being used with a high level of interoperability and interchangeability.
