Abstract
The article explores the impact of the level of geometric detail on the accuracy of modeling physical processes over a digital twin of high-tech facilities. A miniature subsonic wind tunnel is used as an example. The authors have conducted a series of computer simulations with pipe models, varying in the degree of detail: from simplified to the most detailed. By comparing the results of these simulations, the researchers aim to determine the optimal level of model detail to create the most accurate digital twin. The findings are planned to be used to make practical recommendations on the selection of suitable geometric models for the creation of digital twins intended for aerodynamic research. Thus, the aim of the work is to establish the relationship between the complexity of the geometric model and the accuracy of the results of modeling aerodynamic processes in a digital twin. The more accurate the model, the more computing resources will be required, so finding the optimal balance between accuracy and computational efficiency is a key research objective.
