A Robust Multi-Physics Design Analysis and Optimization Framework for Hypersonic Systems Grounded in Rigorous Model Reduction
Abstract
The development of hypersonic systems must overcome many physics, engineering and computational challenges, including management of extreme heating; engineering of materials that withstand the consequences of such heat; design of control laws that enable maneuverability with high level of precision; and development of design optimization methods based on predictive and yet affordable numerical simulations. This complex problem is compounded by limited ground test facilities and segregated design and analysis tools. Its solution requires the right blend of tests and analyses. We propose to overcome the computational challenges associated with this problem by developing an innovative, computationally tractable framework for tightly coupled multi-physics design analysis and optimization (MDAO), under uncertainty, of hypersonic systems.
