High
Altitude CFD Laboratory
The University of Wyoming Campus,
at 7220 feet above sea level, is the
highest altitude campus in the US.
(Its not the CFD, its our location)

PROJECTS:
- Transonic Aircraft Drag Prediction using
Unstructured Mesh Solvers
- Computation of Aircraft High-Lift Flows
- Unsteady Flow Solution Techniques using Unstructured
Multigrid Methods
- Efficient Aeroelastic Analysis using Unstructured Mesh Multigrid
Navier Stokes Solvers
- Moving Mesh Techniques

..........all in a
parallel computing environment .........
We use Linux
Operating systems, Fortran 90 and C computer languages, and MPI for
inter-processor communication.
Knowledge of these languages and environments is essential for
these projects.
