SUMMARY:Designing the Sustainable Aircraft: From High-Fidelity Computationa
 l Aerodynamics to AI-Assisted Multidisciplinary Design
DESCRIPTION:The Brahmal Vasudevan Institute for Sustainable Aviation is ple
 ased to welcome Professor Stefan Görtz of the DLR Institute of Aerodynami
 cs and Flow Technology for a seminar exploring advanced computational appr
 oaches to the design of more sustainable aircraft.\nAbstract\nSustainable 
 aviation requires aircraft that combine advanced aerodynamics with innovat
 ive propulsion and energy systems. This seminar will present how DLR addre
 sses this challenge through advanced computational methods\, spanning high
 -fidelity CFD and multidisciplinary design optimisation\, and demonstrate 
 their application to aircraft concepts featuring high-aspect-ratio wings a
 nd hybrid-electric propulsion.\nProf. Görtz will also discuss how machine
  learning and AI-assisted methods can complement high-fidelity simulations
  to accelerate aerodynamic and loads predictions and enable new approaches
  to aircraft design. As an outlook\, he will briefly explore the potential
  of quantum computing for accelerating computational fluid dynamics.\nToge
 ther\, these approaches illustrate a pathway towards increasingly digital\
 , integrated and physics-based design of more sustainable aircraft.\nAbout
  the speaker\nStefan Görtz heads the Center for Computer Applications in 
 AeroSpace Science and Engineering (C²A²S²E) at the DLR Institute of Aer
 odynamics and Flow Technology in Braunschweig\, which conducts research an
 d develops numerical methods and software solutions for aircraft aerodynam
 ics\, including the flow solvers TAU and CODA (CFD Software by ONERA\, DLR
  and Airbus)\, the multidisciplinary simulation environment FlowSimulator 
 and a software for data-driven aerodynamic modelling\, analysis and design
 \, SMARTy. He is also spokesperson for the DLR subtopic “Virtual Design 
 and Certification” and represents DLR’s aeronautics research in the He
 lmholtz-Inkubator\, an interdisciplinary think tank for emerging technolog
 ies in information and data science of the Helmholtz Association of German
  Research Centres.\nHe studied Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering in Darms
 tadt\, Lausanne and Stockholm and received his PhD in Aeronautical Enginee
 ring from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 2005. Followin
 g research stays at FOI and the U.S. Air Force Academy\, he joined DLR in 
 2006. Since 2019\, he has been Professor of Multidisciplinary Design Optim
 isation at Technische Universität Braunschweig and a member of the Lower 
 Saxony Aviation Research Centre (NFL).\nThe seminar will be followed by a 
 reception with tea and coffee.
