Alessandro Gastaldi, Airbus Defence and Space Title: High-fidelity airframe shape and sizing optimisation for maximum aircraft performance Abstract: The objective of the aircraft development process is to formulate a design which provides the highest possible performance at specific operating conditions, … Continue reading →

Prof. Xun Huan, Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan Title: Optimal Experimental Design and Bayesian Neural Networks for Physics-Based Models Abstract: Models and data are two critical components of scientific research: models provide predictions of what data we might observe, and … Continue reading →

Marc Schwalbach, von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics/TU Kaiserslautern Title: CAD-Based Adjoint Multidisciplinary Optimization Framework for Turbomachinery Design Abstract: Most adjoint-based optimization frameworks for turbomachinery only consider aerodynamic performance and constraints, leading to designs that need to pass through revisions … Continue reading →

Steffen Schotthöfer, TU Kaiserslautern Title: Sensitivity analysis in the presence of limit cycle oscillations – Regularizing methods Abstract: Many unsteady problems equilibrate to periodic behavior. For these problems the sensitivity of periodic outputs to system parameters are often desired and … Continue reading →
