Abstract Due to climate change, considering future rain event patterns and increased average temperatures, wind-driven rain exposure of buildings can increase. In order to assess the future damage risk related to moisture, it is essential to take the future wind-driven rain load into account. Computational fluid dynamics simulations of wind-driven rain are performed on a historical building located in Victoria, BC, Canada using the current and future weather data. The results show an increased wind-driven rain exposure of the building by up to 20%, especially in façade regions which are already exposed to a higher amount of rain.

Modelling Techniques

I discuss techniques for the modelling of the dynamics of ships in an experimental tank. Advances in computational fluid dynamics have made the numerical tank a real possibility, and I discuss the relation between the numerical and the experimental tank. Current techniques for modelling rigid ships, i.e. the seakeeping test, and flexible ships are investigated. Finally, the future prospects of these techniques are discussed.

Computing Platforms

As global air travel expands rapidly to meet demand generated by economic growth, it is essential to continue to improve the efficiency of air transportation to reduce its carbon emissions and address concerns about climate change. Future transports must be ‘cleaner’ and designed to include technologies that will continue to lower engine emissions and reduce community noise. The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) will be critical to enable the design of these new concepts. In general, the ability to simulate aerodynamic and reactive flows using CFD has progressed rapidly during the past several decades and has fundamentally changed the aerospace design process. Advanced simulation capabilities not only enable reductions in ground-based and flight-testing requirements, but also provide added physical insight, and enable superior designs at reduced cost and risk. In spite of considerable success, reliable use of CFD has remained confined to a small region of the operating envelope due, in part, to the inability of current methods to reliably predict turbulent, separated flows. Fortunately, the advent of much more powerful computing platforms provides an opportunity to overcome a number of these challenges. This paper summarizes the findings and recommendations from a recent NASA-funded study that provides a vision for CFD in the year 2030, including an assessment of critical technology gaps and needed development, and identifies the key CFD technology advancements that will enable the design and development of much cleaner aircraft in the future.
