POTENTIAL FLOW

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project was developed in the Computational Engineering subject taken during my MSc in Aeronautic
Engineering at the UPC – ESEIAAT. It was developed under the supervision of the Dr. Carlos David Perez Segarra in the CTTC department. The project consisted on the application of the Potential Flow theory for two simple case of study.

The second case of study consists in solving a simple flow in a channel for the study of how it interacts with simple objects such as a cylinder. The problem would consists in two flat plates with an air flow in between them with a cylinder placed in between. This case is an extension from the first one and it only presents few modifications related to placing objects in the middle of the domain. The image at the top of the page shows the pressure field around a specific cylinder. The following image shows the velocity field.
