1.  Aims of the Workshop

The start of the 21st century marks a new opportunity for mathematical and computational discoveries in the fields associated with the aerospace industry.  These discoveries will use modern developments in information technologies and are vitally important to promote the advanced technologies necessary to develop an efficient and environmentally sustainable transport system.

The goal of this workshop is to encourage researchers to develop new methods and tools for efficient multidisciplinary design in aeronautics.  Among the many challenges to be addressed are mathematical problems involving coupled flow, structure and wave problems.  Future progress on these topics strongly depends on the physical and mathematical modeling of coupled disciplines and the development of associated multidisciplinary simulation tools.  Strong couplings require appropriate exchanges of different kinds of information:  physical and geometrical description of models, coupling of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) at the interface, boundary conditions or multi-objective functions in optimization or control problems.  Validation of multi-physics software also requires ever more efficient and accurate graphic visualization tools linked to knowledge databases.

In particular the scope of the workshop includes the following topics:

·         mathematical modeling of fluids, structures and waves

·         optimal control

·         flight dynamics and control

·         robotics and autonomous systems

·         advanced computational aerodynamics

·         advanced computational electromagnetics

·         database tools for graphic visualization

·         advanced aircraft structure and materials

·         multidisciplinary design optimization

·         drag, noise and signature reduction

·         flow induced noise and turbulence

·         aero-acoustics and aero-elasticity

·         aircraft and UAV design

·         intelligent fluid and material systems

 

 

The first three days will consist of invited lectures presented by recognized French and Australian experts in the above fields.  The workshop will also include a round table discussion on the following topic:

Future computational tools for design and manufacture of

innovative products in the aeronautics industry

This round table will feature academic and industrial experts, as well as representatives of governmental institutions involved in aeronautical applications of flow, structure and waves.
