FIXED GRID RANS TFG

5th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop

The RANS Technology Focus Group (TFG) deals with Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations on hand-crafted (non-adaptive) meshes. In addition to exploring accuracy with respect to experimental data, its work includes effects of mesh refinement, turbulence modeling, iterative convergence, solution strategy, and model verification (among other things).

The following lists the active membership for this Technology Focus Group (TFG). The assigned Participant ID (PID) numbers are given in red. (The PIDs may not be contiguous or in numerical order, as teams may drop out or be added.) Please contact hiliftpw@gmail.com if you have a correction.
