SBIR-STTR Award

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods generate vast amounts of numerical data that must be displayed graphically for use. Current graphical computer software programs are limited to displaying data only on lines or surfaces defined in the computational grid. Users of CFD software desire to display CFD data on arbitrary surfaces that may not conform with the computational grid. A software program will be developed that allows users to display CFD data on arbitrary user-defined surfaces. This program will be based upon the company's existing interactive plotting software called TECPLOT. It will work with data defined in multi-block finite-difference or finite-element computational grids.The resulting software program will be of great value to the aerospace industry and to the U.S. Air Force.visualization, computational fluid dynamics, graphics, fluid flowSTATUS: Phase I Only
