PITTSBURGH, June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lufthansa Technik, one of the world's leading providers of technical aircraft services, integrates Ansys' (NASDAQ: ANSS) simulation solutions to design and certify AeroSHARK, a biomimetic coating technology that emulates shark skin and significantly reduces fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Key Points: 
  • By leveraging Ansys' computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and high-performance computing (HPC) technology, Lufthansa Technik and BASF, a chemical company, designed the coating film with a subtle ribbed texture consisting of small elevations referred to as riblets.
  • Engineers used Ansys' CFD to analyze turbulent flow phenomena surrounding the riblets to ensure they would generate the same effect.
  • Lufthansa Technik used Ansys' tools to build and validate smaller, more generic virtual prototypes of AeroSHARK before scaling and tailoring the prototypes through comprehensive aerodynamic simulations.
  • "AeroSHARK can significantly contribute to more sustainable air transport," said Stefan Kuntzagk, senior engineer, aircraft performance, CFD, and flight test at Lufthansa Technik.
