Job Details
Rolls-Royce needs to represent value of different design alternatives that are increasingly becoming more complex involving multiple companies. More electric engine and aircraft concepts are considered within the aerospace sector and VDD offers a tangible model to capture an objective metric for design alternatives. This research will look at the VDD and how to apply it to the preliminary design process - specifically considering how to link VDD models to geometry.
Issues that have been identified for this research to consider are: the lack of suitable geometry at early stages, how does/can geometry integrate with VDD models, and how does ambiguity at early stages effect the input to VDD and therefore aid the decision process.
This project is run through participation in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Computational Modelling (http://ngcm.soton.ac.uk). For details of our 4 Year PhD programme, please see http://www.findaphd.com/search/PhDDetails.aspx?CAID=331&LID=2652
