ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Accurate Drag Computation and Decomposition
from CFD solutions from Mid Field method
An independent MFDD code has been developed to
compute each physical drag components such as viscous, wave, induced and spurious components; latter is due to the numerical dissipation and truncation errors, in order to estimate the accurate drag coefficient values
