Washington, DC

Image: David Mark - PixabayWashington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, first President of the United States and Founding Father. Washington is the principal city of the Washington metropolitan area, which has a population of 6,131,977. As the seat of the United States federal government and several international organizations, Washington is an important world political capital. The city is also one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million annual tourists.

Upcoming events at this location

 

The NATO STO Collaboration Support Office and the Applied Vehicle Technology (AVT) Panel will hold a Research Specialists' Meeting on "Advanced Wind Tunnel Boundary Simulation III", to be held in Washington, DC, USA in May 2025. 

The event (AVT-391) will be held in conjunction with the 55th AVT Panel Business Meeting (19-23 May 2025), and is open to citizens from NATO Nations, Australia, Sweden and Japan

The abstract submission deadline is 08 April 2024.

 

Theme:

Τhis RSM will provide an opportunity for technical experts to assess the state of the art in the use of high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of wind tunnel flow and boundaries, including inflow, outflow, walls, and model support hardware. 

 

Meeting objectives:

  • Discuss activities to physically characterize wind and water tunnel and measurement processes for CFD (e.g. boundary/initial conditions and sensitivities of both test section and article, mass flow at diffuser);
  • Presentation of work on high-fidelity CFD (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes, Scale Resolving Simulation, Lattice Boltzmann, etc.) simulation of measured wind/water tunnel flow (to include matched post processing to the extent possible);
  • Discuss results from coordinated activities involving facility simulations, for example:
  • Discuss first results from AVT-387 "Common Research Wind Tunnels for CFD Verification and Validation" activities;
  • Discuss results from NASA (high-lift) Common Research Model eco-system;
  • Develop recommendations for the use of high-fidelity simulation of wind/water tunnel flows (geometries, boundaries, model support, etc.) and/or experimental characterization for CFD comparison;
  • Identify educational aspects (link to AVT-ET 235), with a view to establish a course on the requirements for and methods to predict wind tunnel interference effects, including blockage, buoyancy, slotted and perforated wall effects for transonic testing etc.
  • Continue to identify key areas requiring further research and development, possibly resulting in support of mid to long term simulation and testing plans;
  • Mature a longer-term community of interest for wind tunnel corrections and CFD validation in research, academia and industry.
     

All details about deadlines and abstract submissions are provided in the document "AVT- 391 CfP" on the right side of this page, below the map.

Registration for this event will be open in January 2025.
