Stability and Sensitivity Methods for Flow Control and Industrial Design

SSECOID is facing two of the main problems present in the modern European society. On the one hand, current environmental pressure demands for more efficient, safer, affordable and environmental friendly products. This requirements create new challenges for the industry to improve the current technological designs in order to meet the expectations of the end users. On the second hand, there is a lack of skilled professionals in the field engineering, in particular in topics such as fluid mechanics, computing and aerodynamic. SSECOID has certainly contribute to overcome those problems by researching in the most advanced areas of fluid mechanics, applying this research to the pioneering and most competitive industry of the field, and by developing a specific and industry oriented training for 15 fellows in the most advances techniques of computing and fluid mechanics. SSECOID has identified four different challenges to advance in the development of more optimized designs: Accuracy of numerical simulations, Data management, Flow stability and Flow Sensitivity, shape optimization and control. In base of those challenges, a series of objectives were defined: ● Development of new numerical methods and tools better suited for unsteady flows. ● Identification of the features causing unsteadiness, acoustic, flow detachment or lack of performance of current aerodynamic configurations. ● Investigation of control/suppression of unsteady flow through flow control devices. ● Multidisciplinary evaluation of the most promising applications in relevant problems proposed by industry. ● Training of 15 new researchers in the development of most advanced methods for simulation, feature detection, stability and flow control techniques applied to industrial design. ● Dissemination and communication of the project´s results at international level

Project objective

Every day, society is demanding more efficient, safer, affordable and environmental friendly products. To do that, industry needs to innovate by developing new methods and tools able to obtain superior performances of their competitors. This is the main topic of SSeCoID´s research: to develop new methods and tools for design in order to enhance their industrial performance. SSeCoID will demonstrate its innovations by applying the new methods & tools to different problems of aeronautics and mechanical engineering, and will provide very specialized training to 15 researchers to make these novel technologies available to relevant industrial sectors.SSeCoID proposes to work in the:Development of new numerical methods and tools better suited for unsteady flows: stability analysis and high fidelity simulation, capable of capturing and controlling the growth of small perturbations in stable flows and able to provide enhanced accuracy.Identification of the features causing unsteadiness, acoustic, flow detachment or lack of performance of current aerodynamic configurations;Investigation of control/suppression of unsteady flow through flow control devices or surface modifications, by identifying the most suitable zones that have most influence on the flow features;Multidisciplinary evaluation of the most promising applications in relevant problems proposed by industry, including detached flows, acoustic feedback, flow induced vibration, inkjet or race car design; assessment of technical feasibility; potential of control devices for flow instability suppression or delay. Training 15 new researchers in the development of most advanced methods for simulation, feature detection, stability and flow control techniques applied to industrial design.Disseminate the project results in international forums and non-specialized public. Exploit the project results in new patents that include new designs and methods more stable and easy to control.
