Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science (M.S.), University of Dayton, Aerospace Engineering.
This research focuses on the development and testing of a geometrically-parameterized, multi-fidelity, multidisciplinary model of the efficient supersonic air vehicle (ESAV), for multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization (MDAO) purposes. Multidisciplinary features include coupled rigid aerodynamics, flap controls, aero-structural, and therefore aeroelastic capabilities. The model has been verified through grid convergence studies, flow condition sweeps, and various design space studies. The rigid aerodynamics of the model have been validated with subsonic wind tunnel data. The low-fidelity rigid aerodynamics and flap controls are modeled with panel-methods in ASTROS, and the high-fidelity rigid aerodynamics and flap controls are modeled with inviscid Euler analysis using FUN3D. The low-fidelity aero-structural analysis is performed with ASTROS, and the high-fidelity aero-structural analysis uses modal analysis in ASTROS and the resulting modes and displacements are transferred to FUN3D for an inviscid aeroelastic analysis. The rigid aerodynamic and flap controls models have been set up to be connected to a multi-fidelity gradient-based optimizer and results of optimization studies are presented.
