Location
Dallas, Texas
Date
2024
Role
Simulation Engineer
Project type
CFD & FEA Simulation Project
Tools
ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS Mechanical
Focus Area
Aeroelasticity, FSI coupling, high-speed projectile behavior
Analysis Type
One-way FSI (CFD → FEA)
This project involved a coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis of a projectile body to study the structural response under aerodynamic loading. CFD simulations were first carried out in ANSYS Fluent to calculate pressure distributions over the projectile’s surface. These pressure forces were then mapped and imported into ANSYS Mechanical to analyze structural deformation and stress behavior during high-speed flight.
This two-way approach provided deeper insight into the aeroelastic characteristics of the projectile and ensured reliable structural performance under dynamic flow conditions.
