The

6th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop (HLPW-6)

Dates and Location TBD

Page under construction

Overview

HLPW-6 is a continuation in the series of High Lift Prediction Workshops.

Goals of the Workshop Series

Assess the numerical prediction capability (meshing, numerics, turbulence modeling, high-performance computing requirements, etc.) of current-generation CFD technology/codes for swept, medium-to-high-aspect ratio wings for landing/take-off (high-lift) configurations.
Develop practical modeling guidelines for CFD prediction of high-lift flow fields.
Determine the elements of high-lift flow physics that are critical for modeling to enable the development of more accurate prediction methods and tools.
Enhance CFD prediction capability for practical high-lift aerodynamic design and optimization.

Important Information:

HLPW makes use of configurations for which the geometry and measured data are fully open (with unrestricted public availability), forming the basis for international cooperation/collaboration on this important open topic. In keeping with the goals of the HLPW series, CFD data generated by workshop participants are also made publicly available.** However, note that accuracy and adequacy of participant results are not guaranteed. All participant CFD results should be viewed as workshop-type solutions, for the purpose of advancing the shared understanding of the high-lift community, and not as final production-type solutions.

**Participation in HLPW implies agreement that any submitted results, grids, presentations, or other data will be made publicly available. Participants are responsible for obtaining necessary permissions from their own organizations prior to the workshop.
