Implementing Aerodynamic Predictions from Computational Fluid Dynamics in Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of a High-Speed Civil Transport

A method to efficiently introduce supersonic drag predictions from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations in a combined aerodynamic-structural optimization of a High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) is presented. To achieve this goal, the method must alleviate the large computational burden ass...
