Breaking the Curse of Dimensionality: Polynomial Chaos for Exploratory Modelling

In light of worsening climate change and an increased interest in adapting infrastructure to cope with its effects, model-based decision support has become an essential tool for policy makers. In conditions of deep uncertainty, models may be used to explore a large space of possible system behaviours and so encourage a wider consideration of the...

Reduced-order modelling for prediction of aircraft flight dynamics: Based on indicial step response functions investigating agile aircraft undergoing rapid manoeuvres

During aircraft design,multiple tools are utilised to inspect the performance of the configuration. As the design matures, higher fidelity analyses are conducted to predict the flight dynamics of the aircraft. These analyses are conducted by using semi-empirical relations, numerically analysing flow behaviour, conducting wind-tunnel tests and...
