Abstract

Currently, working on the design and optimization of hybrid airships for various applications. The work involves multiple disciplines like aerodynamics, structures, geometry parameterization, etc. The aerodynamics module involves computer-based simulations like CFD, machine-learning techniques for shape optimization, and experiments based on wind tunnel tests. The structures module provides material data, weight estimation, aeroelastic properties, and stress-strain data. Geometry parameterization provides flexible and robust shape-generation algorithms that can be interfaced with an aerodynamics module.
