This unit focuses on various techniques used to extract useful information from numerical and simulation tools. The focus is on how to use numerical simulation tools effectively in design and optimisation, and will concentrate on state-of-the-art numerical analysis techniques required to: couple fluid simulation tools with structural dynamics tools to allow fluid-structural interaction: build efficient surrogate and interpolation models for data space exploration; perform effective aerodynamic shape optimisation. Particular focus is on aerospace engineering applications.
The aim of this unit is to equip the student with:
On successful completion of the course the students will be able to understand, implement and assess numerical techniques for:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
100% Summer timed assessment
