Summary on Grant Application Form
Novel solutions for future air vehicles are likely to involve complex interactions between structures and aerodynamics. Such interactions can be highly non-linear and sensitive to system and model parameters, which require the development of methods capable of quantifying the effects and implications of uncertainty (structural and aerodynamic) on transonic aeroelasticity. This project will address the technical and scientific challenges preventing the practical simulation of transonic non-linear aeroelastic instabilities under uncertainty by implementing an analysis framework based on novel, highly efficient computational techniques. The project aims to create a step change in high-fidelity aeroelastic analysis by making uncertainty quantification (UQ) an integral part of a CFD Harmonic Balance framework, which will enable the assessment of aleatory and epistemic uncertainty through the development of suitable UQ techniques for unsteady CFD and non-linear aeroelastic instabilities.
