Current Research

High-Fidelity Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Rotorcraft (supported by NASA’s Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology project, E. M. Lee-Rausch, Technical Monitor)

A rotorcraft analysis involves many disciplines such as aerodynamics, acoustics, structural dynamics, flight mechanics, and others to account for complex interactions of unsteady fluids with highly flexible rotor blades. Computationally-intensive, high-fidelity discipline models are needed to accurately represent complex physics associated with rotorcraft aeromechanics. Multidisciplinary analysis and optimization (MDAO) become especially challenging in the presence of many design variables. Adjoint-based discretely consistent methodologies provide rigorous and efficient means to evaluate sensitivity of a desired objective functions and constraints computed using high-fidelity physics-based methods to many design variables. This project aims at developing a high-fidelity, adjoint-based, MDAO tool to aid in the design of efficient, low-noise rotorcraft configurations.

Efficient Iterative Solutions for Turbulent Flows (supported by NASA’s Transformative Tools and Technologies project, W.K. Anderson, Technical Monitor)

Advance solver technologies are used to accelerate convergence of current Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes solvers and adjoints for steady and unsteady flow solutions. While significant efficiency gains in turbulent-flow solutions on unstructured grids have been recently obtained with agglomeration multigrid and methods based on Newton-Krylov approach, the computational efficiency is still insufficient, especially for unsteady turbulent flows on high density meshes with grid stretching. Current multi-year collaboration between NIA and the FUN3D group has already led to development and FUN3D implementation of several cutting-edge capabilities, which provide significant convergence acceleration on practical anisotropic grids. To further reduce computational time required for simulation of complex turbulent flows, improved relaxation schemes are needed to accelerate convergence and to provide an effective preconditioner for Krylov projection methods. Improved solver technologies are required to enable efficient solutions of multi-disciplinary problems including the adjoint-based multidisciplinary design and optimization. Additional technology is required to enable efficient solution of coupled systems on the modern computer architecture.

Extending Capabilities and Improving Solutions of Cell-Center Unstructured-Grid Flow Solvers (supported by NASA’s Transformative Tools and Technologies project, Airspace Technology Demonstrations project, and CST Integrated Supersonic Airframe Technology project; N.T. Frink and M.J. Pandya, Technical Monitors)

The cell-center unstructured-grid Navier-Stokes solver, USM3D, is used extensively to analyze aircraft configurations across a wide range of applications within NASA, other government agencies, industry, and academia. Recently, the USM3D framework has been extended to include mixed-element meshes that can handle a broader range of problems more efficiently. Accuracy of mixed-element solutions has been verified extensively. Various enhancements have been implemented in the mixed-element USM3D, including a scalable hierarchical adaptive nonlinear iteration method, and led to significant improvements in efficiency and robustness of USM3D solutions for turbulent flow simulations. Enabling steady and time-dependent applications with a variety of turbulence models at high Reynolds numbers to be simulated efficiently on massively parallel computers requires a long-term fundamental research activity.  The principle purpose of this research is the determination and implementation of practical approaches that expand USM3D capabilities and improve accuracy, efficiency, scalability, and automation of turbulent-flow simulations of increased fidelity used for aerospace applications.
