Air-to-air refueling systems have to take into account fueling rates, flight stability and the risk of unintended disconnects.
Talk about a tough CFD problem. Air-to-air refueling systems have to take into account fueling rates, flight stability and the risk of unintended disconnects. If one tank fills faster than the other for example, or if disengagement causes water hammer, the results can be disastrous.
This white paper discusses an analytic approach that combines 1D and 3D simulation to quickly and accurately analyze an air-to-air refueling system.
This combination approach to CFD analysis can be applied to other applications in industries as varied as automotive, chemical processing, energy and utilities. You may find this simulation approach is relevant to a CFD problem you need to solve.
