CD-adapco Announces UAB Student As its 2011 Academic Paper Contest Winner
CD-adapco has announced that the University of Alabama at Birmingham's, David Cooper, is the winner of its 2011 Academic Paper Contest.
Students and researchers, who were enrolled in CD-adapco's Academic Program and had completed a CFD simulation project between 2009 and 2011, were invited to submit a paper describing their simulation work for that project. The author of the winning paper, David Cooper, was chosen by CD-adapco’s panel of expert judges, and is receiving an all-expense paid trip to the STAR American Conference 2011. The trip includes flights and accommodations, and the opportunity to present his work to the gathered audience of distinguished industrial simulation experts.
David, a senior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, took a CFD Basics (ME 421/521) class last semester and used STAR-CCM+ for the design of a micro-air vehicle for his Senior Design Project. The paper he submitted, entitled “Performance of a Proposed Micro-Aerial Vehicle Design,” exhibited a very good application of a number of STAR-CCM+ techniques to an applied engineering design that would be difficult to test experimentally.
