Ce projet met en jeu la mise au point et l'intégration d'algorithmes de mouvements sur mailles dans le logiciel d'analyse de Bombardier Aéronautique. Les algorithmes serviront à adapter le quadrillage de volume à la géométrie à mesure qu'il évolue dans un cycle d'optimisation ou dans des analyses d'aéroélasticité.

Ce projet de recherche vise à améliorer un outil existant de simulation aérodynamique afin de produire des données de simulation plus exactes pour les écoulements dynamiques turbulents avec des régions de séparation massives. Nous réaliserons cela au moyen de la méthode de la simulation des courants tourbillonnaires détachés (detached-eddy simulation – DES). Les modules actuels […]

Documentation is an integral part of any product development. Product and documentation should co-evolve; whenever the product is changed the documentation should be updated and vice versa. Yet, oftentimes, multiple documentation and product versions may exist; between and within the documentation of the product, relations and dependencies may or may not be explicit, documented, trustworthy […]

Nowadays, we are witnessing a wide adoption of Machine learning (ML) models in many software systems. They are even being tested in safety-critical systems, thanks to recent breakthroughs in deep learning and reinforcement learning. Bombardier, a world leader company in the domain of aerospace have started integrating deep learning models in its products, systems and […]

This project involves the development and integration of mesh movement algorithms with the analysis software at Bombardier Aerospace. The algorithms are used to conform the volume mesh to the geometry as it evolves in an optimization cycle or in aero-elasticity analyses.

This research aims to enhance an existing aerodynamic simulation tool to provide more accurate simulation data for turbulent flows with massive separation regions. This will be achieved by implementing the Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) method. The existing turbulence prediction modules rely on simulation of the largest eddy in the fluid domain and modelling of all other […]

The objective of the project is the implementation of a fast solution algorithm for the simulation of complete aircraft configurations. In industry, these numerical simulations are used to compute detailed quantitative information about the flow patterns occurring during take-off, landing and cruise flight, and play an essential role in the optimization of aerodynamic surfaces. However, […]

  The Methods Engineering Department at Bombardier Aerospace in Toronto faces several challenges when planning their production layout and schedules for the Q400 commercial aircraft. The major issues include the precedence relationships between tasks, operator skill level, labour union regulations, physical layout of the working zones, and target cycle time. The main objectives of this […]

  The formation of vortices and their interaction with the aircraft wing and body is one the most interesting problems in aerodynamics. These vortices are usually generated and convected from different parts of the lift providing devices. Their interaction with the flow field, can case unsteady force and vibration. At some configurations, it can alter […]

  A very important phase in aircraft design is the aerodynamic design of the wing and various other components; wing-body fairing, tailplane, etc. With today’s computer power and progress in algorithm development, the design is made through complex mathematical models which are amenable to automatic optimization. An industrial adjoint-based three-dimensional viscous optimization framework, developed at […]
