DEVELOPMENT OF THE DLR TAU-CODE FOR AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS

This paper gives an overview of the TAU-Code, DLR’s system for complex flow simulations on unstructured hybrid grids. Starting from a short description of the system and its components, its basic capabilities are discussed. The remainder of the paper discusses a number of applications of varying complexity, such as transition prediction, influence of engine installation on high devices devices on a full aircraft configuration, flow about a generic Arianne-type launcher with fluid-structure interaction on the rocket nozzle or full aircraft simulations of a turbo-prop airplane or a complete delta wing configuration.
