Response Surface Models Combining Linear and Euler Aerodynamics for Supersonic Transport Design

摘要

A method has been developed to efficiently implement supersonic aerodynamic predictions from Euler solutions into a highly constrained, multidisciplinary design optimization of a High-Speed Civil Transport. The method alleviates the large computational burden associated with performing computational fluid Dynamics analyses through the use of variable-complexity modeling techniques, response surface (RS) Methodologies, and coarse-grained parallel computing.
