- Work presents a new method for aerodynamic optimisation able to provide both topological and fine-level geometry control. The importance of this is that critical, large shape changes can now be incorporated in fluids optimisation alongside the small surface motions previously studied, opening the door to further design optimisation. Led to PhD for EPSRC funded student James Hall. Importantly, this work was also the seed for a significantly improved volume parameterisation, which later won best MDO paper (AIAA 2018-3952) at Aviation 2018, and has led to an EPRSC grant (EP/S016996/1) that will use SPH methods to optimise design of composite materials.
