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
- Adaptive Meshing
- Design Optimization Techniques for Aerodynamics
- Development of Efficient Solution of High-Order Accurate Discontinuous
Galerkin Discretizations

..........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.
