{"product_id":"9781783266302","title":"Simulation-driven Aerodynamic Design Using Variable-fidelity Models","description":"\u003cp\u003eComputer simulations is a fundamental tool of the design process in many engineering disciplines including aerospace engineering. However, although high-fidelity numerical models are accurate, they can be computationally expensive with evaluation time for a single design as long as hours, days or even weeks. Simulation-driven design using conventional optimization techniques may be therefore prohibitive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explores the alternative: performing computationally efficient design using surrogate-based optimization, where the high-fidelity model is replaced by its computationally cheap but still reasonably accurate representation: a surrogate. The emphasis is on physics-based surrogates. Application-wise, the focus is on aerodynamics and the methods and techniques described in the book are demonstrated using aerodynamic shape optimization cases. Applications in other engineering fields are also demonstrated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eState-of-the-art techniques and a depth of coverage never published before make this a unique and essential book for all researchers working in aerospace and other engineering areas and dealing with optimization, computationally expensive design problems, and simulation-driven design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eMotivation and Problem Formulation:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAerodynamic Shape Optimization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eOptimization Techniques:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSimulation-Driven Design: Direct Methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurrogate-Based Optimization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSBO with Approximation-Based Surrogates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSBO with Physics-Based Surrogates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eAerodynamics Modeling:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeometry Parameterization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh-Fidelity Aerodynamic Models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLow-Fidelity Aerodynamics Models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eApplications:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransonic Airfoil Shape Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransonic Wing Shape Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubsonic Shape Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelected Applications of Surrogate-Based Optimization in Other Areas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurrogate-Based Optimization with MATLAB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical Aspects of Variable-Fidelity Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eReadership:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graduate students and researchers in the field of engineering, in particular, aerospace engineering. \u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGathers a number of relevant techniques that were never compiled in one publication before, and certain state-of-the-art techniques have never been published in book form\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompact and self-contained introduction to the area of surrogate-based optimization and variable-fidelity optimization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAt present, this is the only book available on the market that offers coverage of variable-fidelity optimization methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140048077040,"sku":"9781783266302","price":42.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783266302_p0.jpg?v=1763723960","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783266302","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
