Faculty spotlight
Professor D.W. Zingg
Computational Aerodynamics Laboratory
Research Focus
• To advance the state of the art in algorithms for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as well as aerodynamic shape optimization and aerostructural optimization
• To apply these algorithms to the development of drag reduction techniques and the next generation of aircraft with greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions per passenger-km
Current Projects
• Investigation of unconventional aircraft configurations, such as the hybrid wing-body and the truss-braced wing through aerodynamic shape optimization and multidisciplinary design optimization
• Development of novel high-order summation-by-parts operators applicable to unstructured meshes, including entropy-stable schemes
