MIRACLE – A Joint DLR/ONERA Effort on Harmonization and Development of Industrial and Research Aerodynamic Computational Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of the common DLR/ONERA project MIRACLE is to harmonize the CFD activities and strategies of DLR and ONERA in order to better fulfil the future requirements of transport aircraft industry in Europe. The paper presents the most significant achievements of the co-operative activities, which have been focused on the following objectives: collaborative enhancement and industrialization of the structured and unstructured-hybrid CFD solvers elsA (ONERA) and TAU (DLR); validation of both flow solvers elsA and TAU for industrial applications; identification of an appropriate software architecture for next generation CFD tools. The joint effort of DLR and ONERA on CFD development has accelerated the enhancement of numerical methods for aerodynamic predictions within conventional and unconventional, environmentally friendly aircraft designs. Both, flow solvers elsA and TAU are routinely used in European aircraft industry. The MIRACLE effort is an important step on the road map to meet the future ambitious goals of aircraft research and industry.

متن کاملFast reconstruction of aerodynamic shapes using evolutionary algorithms and virtual nash strategies in a CFD design environment
This paper compares the performances of two different optimisation techniques for solving inverse problems; the first one deals with the Hierarchical Asynchronous Parallel Evolutionary Algorithms software (HAPEA) and the second is implemented with a game strategy named Nash-EA. The HAPEA software is based on a hierarchical topology and asynchronous parallel computation. The Nash-EA methodology ...

Two high-speed stereo PIV (HS-SPIV) systems have been used for the characterization of pulsed and continuous jet actuators in the turbulent boundary layer (TBL) wind tunnel at ONERA Lille, an Eiffel type wind tunnel in suction mode with a low turbulence level. The test aimed at generating an aerodynamic database useful for the characterisation of (unsteady) vortical structures responsible for t...
متن کاملONERA-DLR bistatic SAR campaign: planning, data acquisition, and first analysis of bistatic scattering behaviour of natural and urban targets
Bistatic configuration is an attractive concept for spaceborne and airborne SAR missions when distributed radars are necessary as for example in the case of interferometric applications. The first reason is the important cost reduction achieved over the multiple radar elements, by having only one transmitter (expensive part) and multiple receivers. The most promising applications are single-pas...
متن کاملAerodynamic Design Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)
An efficient formulation for the robust shape optimization of aerodynamic objects is introduced in this paper. The formulation has three essential features. First, an Euler solver based on a second-order Godunov scheme is used for the flow calculations. Second, a genetic algorithm with binary number encoding is implemented for the optimization procedure. The third ingredient of the procedure is...
