CFSWA - 2001 Coupling of Fluids, Solids and Waves Problems in Aeronautics

December 3-6, 2001

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Applied Mathematics

Description:
The goal of this workshop is to encourage researchers to develop new methods and tools for efficient multidisciplinary design in aeronautics. Among the many challenges to be addressed are mathematical problems involving coupled flow, structure and wave problems. Future progress on these topics strongly depends on the physical and mathematical modeling of coupled disciplines and the development of associated multidisciplinary simulation tools. Strong couplings require appropriate exchanges of different kinds of information: physical and geometrical description of models, coupling of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) at the interface, boundary conditions or multi-objective functions in optimization or control problems. Validation of multi-physics software also requires ever more efficient and accurate graphic visualization tools linked to knowledge databases.

In particular the scope of the workshop includes the following topics:

· mathematical modeling of fluids, structures and waves

· optimal control

· flight dynamics and control

· robotics and autonomous systems

· advanced computational aerodynamics

· advanced computational electromagnetics

· database tools for graphic visualization · advanced aircraft structure and materials

· multidisciplinary design optimization

· drag, noise and signature reduction

· flow induced noise and turbulence

· aero-acoustics and aero-elasticity

· aircraft and UAV design

· intelligent fluid and material systems
