The advancements in hypersonic technologies, operating at speeds beyond Mach 5, are being redefined in aerospace and defense, enabling progress in space exploration, re-entry vehicles, and air-breathing defense systems. Unique challenges, such as extreme physics involving vibrational excitation, dissociation, and thermal non-equilibrium, along with numerical instabilities like carbuncle phenomena, are being addressed through advanced computational methods. As physical testing at these speeds remains costly and limited, simulation has been established as a vital tool for innovation. Solutions to these challenges are being provided by Simcenter Star CCM Plus. Through its advanced meshing tools, including unstructured polyhedral meshes and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), precise modeling of complex geometries, such as launch vehicles and hypersonic missiles, is being achieved. Comprehensive physical models are applied to handle real gas effects, heat transfer, and thermal radiation, ensuring accuracy under extreme conditions. Numerical instabilities are mitigated by robust solvers, which are designed to scale efficiently across thousands of cores for unparalleled computational performance. Validation of this platform has been demonstrated through real-world applications, including Apollo capsule re-entry simulations and canonical hypersonic test cases. Detailed shock structures and heat flux patterns were accurately captured through adaptive meshing, while defense-related simulations showcased the platform’s versatility in modeling scramjets and air-breathing hypersonic systems. For those passionate about hypersonic technology and its applications, this webinar is highly recommended. Simcenter Star CCM Plus is presented not just as a simulation tool but as a pathway to innovation, enabling engineers to overcome challenges and drive next-generation advancements. By watching this webinar, enthusiasts can explore how the future of hypersonic flows is being shaped today, providing invaluable insights for engineers and researchers alike. #Hypersonic #CFD #Simulation #SpaceExploration #DefenseInnovation #EngineeringTools #StarCCMPlus #AerospaceEngineering #DigitalTwin #InnovationInEngineering #AdvancedTech https://lnkd.in/dzYzVVq4

Reason 6 to Visit G2 Metric @ #MACH2024 With so many #machinetool exhibitors at MACH Third Dimension Software Ltd `s Gap Gun Pro2 with T15 sensor is the perfect accompanying technology for any #machineshop #inspection room. The T15 with its 0.003mm resolution enables the measurement of features not possible on a #CMM or often measured with time consuming #replicast materials cut and analysed on a #shadowgraph. The T15 can measure critical edge break profiles, chamfers, inclusions, rads, surface finish, burrs, machining transition steps, scratches and much much more. Used in machining environments such as #Areospace, #Powergenaration & #Nuclear the T15 captures critical measurements instantly on the component with the click of a button. Traceable results can be combined with CMM reports for traceability and profiles can be blown up and interrogated in detail on the supporting #SPC3D software. We kick off Monday through to Friday and look forward to seeing our partners, peers & customers old and new. Come and see us stand 18-708 G2METRIC - GROUPE ADF GROUPE ADF

It also includes beam focussing optics, a swiveling gas nozzle, and a controller. Mating this with customer supplied part handling and motion yields a complete, automated solution. There are two laser options to apply the crack initializing scribes. The LFS with FLBK SC uses a 150 W, µs pulsewidth source, for processing truck or other large engine conrods. The QFS with FLBK SC has a 50 W, ns pulsewidth laser and is intended for most automobile and other small engine conrods. #Coherent #Scienceandtecnology #Photonics #Scribing
