The unit focuses on the implementation of different techniques used to extract useful information from computational fluid dynamics simulations. The aim of this unit is to present the application of numerical analysis techniques with particular focus on aerospace engineering.
Aims:
• To familiarise students with optimisation and modelling techniques used in steady and unsteady aerodynamic design. • To give students a basic knowledge of the techniques used in coupled fluid structure problems. • To demonstrate applications of advanced numerical analysis techniques in the field of aerodynamic and aeroelastic design.
On successful completion of the course the students will be able to: understand, implement and asses numerical techniques for • Aerodynamic optimisation. • Construction of surrogate and reduced order models. • Coupling aerodynamic simulations with a range of structural models • Be able to produce an efficient procedure for extracting information of a desired accuracy from a computational fluid dynamics process.
