Geometry Handling and Integration (GHandI)

影响物体空气动力性能的最基本的特性之一是物体的形状。随着对性能要求的不断提高，快速探索和优化新型机身形状的性能并采用稳健、高效的工艺变得越来越重要。这对在其润湿表面和相邻气流（即计算网格）中生成和操纵（支持设计）相关几何形状的方式提出了重大挑战。全球对这些挑战的关注越来越多，英国在竞争中保持领先地位至关重要。拟议的研究计划将首次汇集目前活跃在这一领域的英国空气动力学界的主要力量，通过互补的研究活动促进知识共享和交叉交流，并建立创新能力和共同理解。

One of the most fundamental properties affecting the aerodynamic performance of a body is its shape. With progressively increasing demands for performance, the need to explore and optimise the performance of novel airframe shapes rapidly and with robust, efficient processes is becoming increasingly important. This poses significant challenges for the ways in which the associated geometry is generated and manipulated (in support of design) both on its wetted surfaces and in the adjacent air flow (i.e. the computational mesh). Greater attention is being focused on these challenges globally and it is vital that the UK keeps ahead of the competition. The proposed research programme will, for the first time, bring together key strands of the UK aerodynamics community who are currently active in this area, facilitate knowledge sharing and cross-fertilisation via complementary, research activities, and establish innovative capabilities and shared understanding.
