  • 1 New tools for numerical simulations

    This first aerodynamic-aero-acoustic chaining, created with an exchange surface crossed by a turbulent flow, opens the way to future complete aero-acoustic computations for configurations that are today impossible using non- coupled CFD(* Computational Fluid Dynamics) and CAA:* see below.

  • 3 Take-Off at the Martel Test Bench

    "Up to now we have had no other way of characterizing this shock wave than by firing up reduced scale thrusters", says Denis Gély, head of" the Aeroacoustic" research unit in Onera's Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aeroacoustic Department. But, when we perform tests at reduced scale, we can not simulate the time scales related to the intrinsic characteristics of the solid fuel in combustion and it is difficult to play with the time of pressure increase

  • 5 Combining Scale Models for the Best... in the Best Way

    "There are two main approaches to taking turbulence into account: statistical calculations and direct calculations", explains Ivan Mary, researcher in the Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aeroacoustics Department at Onera. In statistical methods, the average values for flow and the overall intensity of the fluctuations are calculated without including any information on the frequency with which they happen

  • 7 DMAS - Materials And Structures

    The activities of the Materials and Structures Department, DMAS, deal with the microstructure of materials (from the atomic scale up to the macroscopic scale), the static and dynamic behaviour to rapid or vibratory dynamics of structures in their environment up to crash or impact, and also include the design, development and characterisation of materials and elements of metallic, ceramic or composite structures
