Aircraft designers continually strive to optimize aerodynamic efficiency and increase the comfort and safety of air travel. This is addressed by embedding into the design process a complex interplay of disciplines like aerodynamics, structural elasticity and dynamics, as well as safety concerns such as in-flight icing. Such multi-physics numerical approaches, anchored around Computational Fluid Dynamics, have become the most widely used platforms for aircraft design. The objective of the research is to develop new multi-physics computational approaches capable of providing deeper understanding of the interaction between many different phenomena and support the need for accurate and efficient tools for the design of future aircraft. The research will cover topics ranging from hypersonic high-altitude gas dynamics to helicopter aerodynamics and aero-icing, and encompassing the development of efficient meshing tools and advanced Reduced Order Modeling for cost-effective real-time calculations. The research is financed by Lockheed Martin and Bell Helicopter and the outcomes of the research will put the Canadian aerospace sector at the forefront of the scientific and industrial aerospace communities, within the selected fields of research. It is the intention of both companies to increase their research activities in Canada through this Chair, and in the case of LMCO, to establish a new Canadian entity to industrialize the results of this research.
