Asymmetric Cessna Citation II Stall Model Identification using a Roll moment-based Kirchhoff method

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...

Multi-point aerodynamic shape optimization for airfoils and wings at supersonic and subsonic regimes

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...

Multi-fidelity Co-Kriging Optimization using Hybrid Injected RANS and LES

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...
