Coupling of Fluids, Structures and Waves in Aeronautics

This volume contains the proceedings of a workshop held in Melbourne, Australia, entitled "Coupling of Fluids, Structures and Waves in Aeronautics". The 22 papers deal with new computational methods for multi-disciplinary design in aeronautics. They are grouped into chapters on fluids, structures, electromagnetics, optimisation, mathematical methods and tools, and aircraft design. Several papers treat coupling of these themes in a multi-physics setting. Included is a 17-page report of a Round Table discussion entitled "Future Tools for Design and Manufacture of Innovative Products in the Aeronautics Industry", together with a summary of important themes and issues. This research promotes the advanced technologies necessary for continued development of efficient and environmentally sustainable transport systems.

Innovative methods and their associated software for aeronautical simulations Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Résumé

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This volume contains 22 papers elaborated by a single or by many authors ... . 'The main purpose was to explore new computational methods and tools for efficient multidisciplinary design in aeronautics'. ... The scientific meeting ends with a round table discussion ... . Additionally, the volume contains a short 'Curriculum vitae' of the participants ... . On balance, the proceedings give a comprehensive picture of the actual situation in aeronautics."
