de Fuijk, Dirk (author)Adequate modeling of the unsteady aerodynamics during flow separation is critical for effective pilot training in Flight Simulation Training Devices. Over the years, a stall modeling method rooted in Kirchhoff's theory of flow separation has gained popularity due to its relative simplicity and suitability for parameter identification from flight...master thesis 2023

Multi-point aerodynamic shape optimization for airfoils and wings at supersonic and subsonic regimesMangano, Marco (author)The second-generation of supersonic civil transport has to match ambitious targets in terms of noise reduction and efficiency to become economically and environmentally viable. High-fidelity numerical optimization offers a powerful approach to address the complex trade-offs intrinsic to this novel configuration. Past and current research however...master thesis 2019

Fatou Gomez, Javier (author)The computation of complex turbulent flows design optimization processes is currently limited by the lack of accuracy of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) in massively separated flows and the infeasible cost of multiple Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) evaluations. A novel method is presented, injecting data from LES or other high-fidelity...master thesis 2018
