Simvia at the 5th Automotive CFD Prediction Workshop (AutoCFD5)
An open-source solver on the reference cases of automotive aerodynamics: see how code_saturne performs, from steady RANS to hybrid RANS-LES.
What you will discover
- 1
code_saturne on reference automotive cases
Results from EDF's open-source solver on the workshop's prescribed configurations, directly comparable with those of other participants.
- 2
From steady RANS to hybrid RANS-LES
What each level of modelling brings in accuracy for vehicle aerodynamics.
- 3
An objective point of comparison
With geometry, conditions and grids prescribed, differences between codes truly reflect the methods used.
- 4
A credible open-source alternative
How a solver free of proprietary licences holds up against commercial tools.
- 5
Trends in automotive CFD
Two days of discussion on meshing, scale-resolving simulations, GPU-based HPC and AI applied to aerodynamics.
