> The goal of her work is to develop a method of obtaining the parameters of the airfoil boundary layer from an existing high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics code, without requiring any more effort from the code’s end-user than was required previously, she said.

So the goal is to make this a more generic computer model to avoid the cost of wind-tunnel testing using a fluid dynamics model. I don’t know from the article if any of this has actually unveiled anything - sounds like the goal of the work, which is progressing Ok.

EDIT: Link to the paper. Yours for $30. Ugh. Why is this costing something when I already paid for the research? https://vtol.org/store/product/computation-and-extraction-of...
