Aerodynamic optimisation has become an indispensable component for any aerodynamic
design over the past 60 years, with applications to aircraft, cars, trains, bridges, wind …

A comprehensive review of aerofoil shape parameterization methods that can be used for
aerodynamic shape optimization is presented. Seven parameterization methods are …

Mesh generation and deformation are critical elements in gradient-based aerodynamic
shape optimization (ASO). Improperly generated or deformed meshes may contain bad …

An aircraft that has been carefully optimised for a single flight condition will tend to perform
poorly at other flight conditions. For aircraft such as long-haul airliners, this is not necessarily …

The integrally stiffened shells possess the advantages of high specific strength, high specific
rigidity and excellent sealing performance, which have been widely used in the load …

We present a coupling of the reduced basis methods and free-form deformations for shape
optimization and design of systems modelled by elliptic PDEs. The free-form deformations …

Reduced order modeling is an important and fast-growing research field in computational
science and engineering, motivated by several reasons, of which we mention just a few …

Within an aerodynamic shape optimization framework, an efficient shape parameterization
and deformation scheme is critical to allow flexible deformation of the surface with the …

In this paper, we propose a new model reduction technique aimed at real‐time blood flow
simulations on a given family of geometrical shapes of arterial vessels. Our approach is …

The main focus of this study is on the development of an efficient and effective hull surface
modification technique for the CFD-based hull form optimization. Two approaches are …
