The Open Joint Stock Company “Ilyushin Aviation Complex” (also referred to as OJSC Ilyushin) has been using FlowVision CFD software (version 2) as the main aerodynamics analysis tool since 2003. Recently, OJSC Ilyushin has purchased the newest version of the FlowVision for further increased involvement of CFD simulations in design and optimization cycle of new generation aerial vehicles.
The key feature of FlowVision (version 3) is its ability to carry out calculations in a parallel mode (High-performance computing or HPC) with ability to operate on computers with distributed and common memory, which is necessary for resource-intensive simulations of external flows around aircrafts. The new version of FlowVision software was deployed in the Company according to the schedule of upgrading the Aerodynamics and Flight Dynamics division of OJSC Ilyushin with modern computational equipment and approaches for engineering design of advanced aerial vehicles of various purposes.
The Capvidia/TESIS Company gives special attention to development of FlowVision and to the methodology of its use for simulation of external flows around aerial vehicles. Users of FlowVision can apply mathematical models of laminar-turbulent transition and a technique of resolving a boundary layers in the vicinity of walls, which generates an additional prismatic computational grid. The methodology of applying FlowVision for problems of external aerodynamics is developed in cooperation with other aircraft engineering departments (PAO TANTK Beriev Aircraft Company, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC) JSC, Volga-Dnepr Airlines LLC), scientific organizations (Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after N.E. Zhukovsky (TsAGI), Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences (JIHT RAS)), and universities (MIPT and MAI).
