$200,000.00
Modelling and Control of Unsteady Aircraft Aerodynamics
FY 2023-24
Summary
The proposed CRC aims to examine unsteady aerodynamics flow phenomena which have a significant impact on aircraft flight
performance, within the context of stiff international competition, as well as increased sustainability (e.g. CO2 emissions) and security
concerns (e.g. adverse climate conditions such as icing and atmospheric turbulence). The proposed research will build on the nominee¿s
expertise in aircraft aerodynamic flow simulations to develop novel modeling and numerical approaches to examine multi-fidelity unsteady
flow formulations. The CRC¿s program will address multi-disciplinary phenomena (e.g. aero-elastic, aero-icing) in collaboration with several
national/international academic, institutional and industrial collaborators, complemented by dedicated wind-tunnel tests.
