RBF Morph (Mesh Morphing) Introduction

Description

RBF Morph (Mesh Morphing) Concepts

This video aims to talk about RBF Morph (Mesh Morphing) Concepts. In this lesson, you will first see a general introduction to design optimization and an overview of available simulation techniques and models in ANSYS Fluent. This section contains the following subsections:

• Introduction and overview of the design optimization
• Introducing two different methods of design optimization in software, similarities, and differences
• Introducing three successive steps of simulation to achieve shape optimization, including:
  • Conventional flow solution
  • Adjoint solution
  • Gradient-based optimization solution
• Introduction to the adjoint solver, including its inputs, governing equations, and observable definition
• Introduction of different mesh morphing methods, including:
  • Direct interpolation
  • Polynomial
  • Radial basis function (RBF)

This CFD Project is the 1st episode of the RBF Morph (Mesh Morphing) Training Course.
