Book Description
In the aviation field there is great interest in high-speed vehicle design. Hypersonic vehicles represent the next frontier of passenger transportation to and from space. However, several design issues must be addressed, including vehicle aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics, aeroshape design optimization, aerodynamic heating, boundary layer transition, and so on. This book contains valuable contributions focusing on hypervelocity aircraft design. Topics covered include hypersonic aircraft aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic design, especially aeroshape design optimization, computational fluid dynamics, and scramjet propulsion. The book also discusses high-speed flow issues and the challenges to achieving the dream of affordable hypersonic travel. It is hoped that the information contained herein will allow for the development of safe and efficient hypersonic vehicles.

Book Description
Due to a trend towards Ultra High Bypass Ratio engines the corresponding engine/airframe interference is becoming a key aspect in aircraft design. The present economic situation increases the pressure on commercial aviation companies to reduce the Direct Operating Cost, and the environmental situation requires a new generation of aircraft with a lower environmental impact. Therefore detailed aerodynamic investigations are required to evaluate the real benefits of new technologies. The presented research activity is part of a long-term project with the main objective of generating a reliable and accurate tool to predict the performance of an aircraft over the whole flight domain. In particular the aim of this research was to perform advanced CFD in order to establish a tool able to evaluate engine installation effects for different configurations and attitudes. The developed tool can be provided with correlations of the Net Propulsive Force (NPF), the force exerted by the power-plant to the aircraft, as a function of position. This can be done in principle at cruise, hold, climb, descent, take-off and landing, to model the different integration effects at different phases. Due to the complexity of the problem it was only possible at an initial stage to determine these correlations at cruise condition. Two parametric test cases were evaluated, showing that the engine horizontal positioning can influence the mission fuel burn by up to 6.4%. According to the extensive literature review that has been done, this study can be regarded as the first open literature engine position-NPF parametric study using CFD. Even though no correlations were extracted for other conditions; a deployed high-lift wing configuration was also studied in detail, defining the main aerodynamics effects of the engine integration at high angle of attack. A topological study of the high-lift installation vortices is presented in this work and it can be considered the first in the open literature. It should be pointed out that extensive research is currently underway to correctly evaluate the high-lift aerodynamic using CFD. The Propulsive System Integration (PSI) in high-lift conditions is adding flow features to an already demanding problem, making it a real challenge for the numerical methods. Nevertheless the additional effects of a nacelle chine on the maximum lift were also evaluated. The main outcomes of this PhD research were: a coupled performance modelling tool able to handle the effects of engine-airframe integration as a function of geometry and attitude, and a topological study of the high-lift installation vortices. During the course of the work, this research was successfully suggested as an extra activity for the European NEWAC project (New Aero Engine Core Concepts), and resulted in a new deliverable for that project.

Book Description
Over the last fifty years, the ability to carry out analysis as a precursor to decision making in engineering design has increased dramatically. In particular, the advent of modern computing systems and the development of advanced numerical methods have made computational modelling a vital tool for producing optimized designs. This text explores how computer-aided analysis has revolutionized aerospace engineering, providing a comprehensive coverage of the latest technologies underpinning advanced computational design. Worked case studies and over 500 references to the primary research literature allow the reader to gain a full understanding of the technology, giving a valuable insight into the world’s most complex engineering systems. Key Features: Includes background information on the history of aerospace design and established optimization, geometrical and mathematical modelling techniques, setting recent engineering developments in a relevant context. Examines the latest methods such as evolutionary and response surface based optimization, adjoint and numerically differentiated sensitivity codes, uncertainty analysis, and concurrent systems integration schemes using grid-based computing. Methods are illustrated with real-world applications of structural statics, dynamics and fluid mechanics to satellite, aircraft and aero-engine design problems. Senior undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students taking courses in aerospace, vehicle and engine design will find this a valuable resource. It will also be useful for practising engineers and researchers working on computational approaches to design.
