Abstract

An adaptive Finite Point Method (FPM) for solving aeroelastic compressible flow problems is presented. The numerical methodology is based on a meshless upwind-biased discretization of the Euler equations, written in arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) form, and integrated in time [...]

Abstract

The paper focuses on the shape optimization, based on the resultant aerodynamic forces, of a simplified X-43 aircraft. The equations of oblique shock waves and Prandtl-Meyer expansion waves, along with the improvement of the aircraft geometry using a genetic algorithm [...]

Abstract

We present a framework to accelerate optimization of problems where the objective function is governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) using projection-based reduced-order models (ROMs) and a trust-region (TR) method. To reduce the cost of objective function [...]
