The aerodynamic shape of an aircraft plays a pivotal role in determining its overall performance. Aerodynamic Shape Optimization (ASO) involves systematically modifying the geometry to optimize the aerodynamic objective ...

For economical air transportation, aero engines with lower specific fuel consumption, lower emissions and lower noise levels are required. To this end, the use of turbofan engine with high bypass ratio is an option. With ...

The thesis deals with the aerodynamic analysis of a nose-mounted propeller aircraft using the flow solver HiFUN. Unsteady RANS simulations using sliding mesh technology is performed on aircraft with the propeller. The study ...

This thesis revisits the design of a planar supersonic nozzle for a supersonic wind tunnel using the method of characteristics (MOC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). While design of a converging-diverging (CD) ...

The unstructured data-based finite volume solvers are widely adopted in industrial computations owing to their robustness and flexibility in handling complex geometries. Most of these solvers use linear reconstruction ...
