Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal concerns the development and validation of adjoint CFD mathods for three design problems, determining the influence of design changes on steady-state performance, levels of forced response due to unsteady interactions, and the susceptibility to flutter. For the first of these, the aim is to improve upon the methods very recently developed in the US, The latter two are completely novel applications of adjoint equations for design. The benefit of the adjoint approach, in contrast to the iterative analysis approach to design, is very greatly reduced computational costs when there are large numbers of design variables, which will greatly speed up the design process.
