Fifteen years of boeing-russia collaboration in CFD and turbulence modeling/simulation

Abstract

The paper highlights major outcomes of a more than 15-year tight collaboration between scientists and engineers of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (Seattle) and a group of scientists from St.-Petersburg under the aegis of the Moscow Boeing Technical Research Center. The collaborative research covers a wide spectrum of basic and applied aerodynamic problems and has resulted in numerous prominent achievements in Computational Fluid Dynamics, turbulence modeling and simulation, and Computational Aero-Acoustics (CAA). The paper focuses on the turbulence modeling and simulation aspects of the mutual work (the CAA studies are presented in a separate paper of M. Shur et al. in this volume). © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
