Effects of the Test Models on the Supersonic Wind Tunnel Flow
To analyze the influence of models in supersonic wind tunnels, simulations with the commercial CFD solver Star CCM+ from Siemens PLM Software were performed.
In Fig. 6, the total pressure curves of the best model support design and the worst model support design are compared with the simulation that contains only the test model without model support.
Fig. 6: Total pressure Curves of best and worst model support The total pressure curves of the simulation with the best model support and the simulation containing only the test model, are equal until to the position where the model support starts.

Abstract.
In the present paper, large-eddy simulation (LES) based on commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT for prediction of flow and heat transfer in a mixing T-junction was completed.
In this respect, CFD is a good way of predicting the mixing phenomenon in a T-junction and recent researches show that large eddy simulation has validation[1, 2].

With the development of calculation technique, CFD technology has been widely used.
Specifically, appropriate mesh generation is typically a major difficulty in CFD.
Numerical simulation result shows that the high order Lagrange interpolation may cause numerical oscillation.
Consequently, velocity support domain should be larger than pressure support domain in the numerical simulation model.
Calculation simulation shows a good agreement with the Fluent result.

In this paper, we perform numerical simulation on CFD software.
Numerical simulation In this paper, we use the DN32 PE tube as U buried tube, and we use CFD software to simulate the change of soil temperature field under different moisture.
, we concluded the following: after the same period of time heat exchanging, heat effect of heat exchanger in experimental measure is wider than that in numerical simulation.
The main reason is that numerical simulation simplifies the pipe buried model in that field experiment is affected by many other unknown factors.
In this way, there are some disagreement between the simulation and the field experiment.

While reviewing the status of CFD solvers in European aircraft design, Voss et al. (2002) survey the extent to which fluid/structure coupling had found its way into CFD analysis.
For example, simulations of a geometrically complex flexible transport have been reported by Pranantaet al. (2005) using the Euler code ENFLOW.
The nonlinear steady flow field data for the F-16 simulation were supplied by Navier–Stokes CFD.
CONCLUSION It can be expected that aircraft and engine designs will continue to rely on the synergistic use of simulation in conjunction with testing.
That complexity at least at the present time makes it unlikely that simulations will in the near future wholly replace testing.

By applying the FLUENT software of CFD, a three-dimensional model
about the V-cone flow meter is built.
The effect of technical parameters on flow in the V-cone flow meter field has been studied by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
The simulation outflow coefficient is relevant to the parameter of the effective diameter ratio β, the diameter of pipe D, front-cone angleα and back-cone angleθ.
By calculating the Reynolds number of the smallest entrance velocity, it can be figured out that the flow field of the numerical simulation is turbulence.
Conclusions The simulation outflow coefficient formula is relevant to the parameter of the effective diameter ratio β, the diameter of pipe D, the front cone angleα and the back cone angleθ.
