Illustrations of multi-disciplinary high-fidelity analysis capabilities for aero-structural and aero-acoustic aircraft design

Abstract

This paper presents recent applications of multi-disciplinary optimizations involving high-fidelity analyses for the aerodynamics, structures and aeroacoustics discipline. Three application cases pertaining to aircraft flight physics design are used to illustrate the recent MDAO capabilities developed internally at ONERA.

“…The second framework, based on MIT Open Source library EGADS [9] and depicted in Figure 5, has been initiated more recently [10]. It offers a more accurate control of the aircraft geometry and, associated with the automated meshing capability of Pointwise using Glyph scripts, enables RANS analyses.…”
