  2. 1. Quasi-analytical Modelling and Optimisation Techniques for Transport Aircraft Design

    Author : Askin T. Isikveren; KTH; []
    Keywords : aircraft; conceptual; design; specifications; atmosphere; geometry; weight; aerodyanmics; propulsion; operational performance; stability and control; constrained multi-objective optimisation; computer aided design; regional; business; high-transonic; ;

    Abstract : The research work presented here focuses on the subject oftransport aircraft design at the pre-design or conceptuallevel. The primary topics addressed are: (1) generation of avast array of new quasi-analytical expressions to permit aconceptual treatment of commercial and business transportaircraft with adequate sensitivity for more advanced tradestudies; (2) review and adoption of a method to predictstability and control characteristics (using the Mitchellmethod); (3) a study of the relative merits between variousmethods in facilitating an expedient and robust constrainedmulti-objective optimisation result within the context oftraditional conceptual design problems (Genetic Algorithms andNelder-Mead Simplex search); (4) creation of a software packageas a new and unique conceptual tool that permits the generationof design proposals in an accurate yet expeditious manner; and,(5) practical demonstration of the new conceptual designsoftware package by undertaking some actual aircraft designproposals.

  4. 2. Towards Improved Scale-Resolving Modeling and Simulations of Turbulent Flows

    Author : Magnus Carlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hybrid RANS-LES; Numerical methods; Synthetic Turbulence; Compressible flow; Scale-resolving simu- lation; High-order gradient reconstruction; Turbulence modelling;

    Abstract : Scale-resolving simulations are viewed as powerful means for predicting complex turbulentflows, as often encountered in aeronautical applications. However, since turbulent scalesspan over a considerable range from the smallest Kolmogorov scales to the largest ofequivalence to configuration size, scale-resolving computations are often demandingon computational resources and, furthermore, on the underlying numerical methodsused in the simulations.
