Efficient optimization is a prerequisite to realize the full potential of an aeronautical structure.
The success of an optimization framework is predominately influenced by the ability to …

This work presents studies on static aeroelastic shape optimization of aircraft wings subject
to large deformations. The physics are captured using a coupled 3D panel method and a …

Aircraft wings are commonly designed with nonplanar geometry, such as winglets, in order
to improve aerodynamic efficiency. This work presents a method for generating nonplanar …

In the cloud, users need to connect to the data server to perform the file transmission via the
Internet, and the Server transmits data to many servers. A machine or vehicle that can fly …

This thesis presents an improved vortex wake model for unstructured, supersonic panel
methods. Panel methods are numerical methods that utilize inviscid flow assumptions and …

This paper outlines the development of a robust, automatic, relaxable wake model for
unstructured supersonic panel methods. In modern supersonic panel methods, wakes are …

A challenging task is to explore a compliant morphing airfoil that allows for aerodynamically
superior shape change without a predefined target shape. This study addresses this task …
