Shape Optimization of Lift and Thrust generating surfaces with the aid of IsoGeometric Analysis (SOLTIGA)
Shape Optimization of Lift and Thrust generating surfaces with the aid of IsoGeometric Analysis (SOLTIGA)
The work focuses on the development of computational tools for optimizing the design of aeronautical and marine/maritime functional free-form surfaces, such as airfoils/hydrofoils, wings, blades, and propellers. As a common feature, the functionality of these products depends on their shape and even small variations of it may have significant impact on their performance. The ultimate goal is to develop seamlessly integrated advanced tools for modeling and simulation, targeting the materialization of the design-through-analysis concept, which nowadays constitutes a prerequisite for efficient PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) in all industrial sectors producing highly-complex products.
