Welcome & Introduction

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

We would hereby like to invite you to participate in the first meeting of the Special Interest Group (SIG) on Design Optimization to be held at the University of Technology in Munich/Garching on November 29th,1999.

The computer-optimization of engineering designs is one of the most powerful emerging technologies for many industries. Most technical designs are currently based on the intuition and the experience of the design engineer. In the future computer optimization will greatly assist the engineer in the search for the optimal solution to a given problem. Due to the high CPU requirements for CFD simulations, computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has not been a natural first candidate for the application of optimization methods. Yet, increased computer performance and advanced optimization methods will allow the broad application of optimization methods to CFD problems within a 3-5 year time frame.

The goal of the proposed SIG on design optimization is to foster the spread of this technology in Europe. It will form a framework for closer co-operation between the research groups working on the subject and serve as a platform for the information exchange from science to industry. One of the most important goals is the transfer of information, and thereby technology, to companies not currently engaged in the technology.

These goals can best be achieved through regular workshops. The workshops will be organized to serve the following goals:

• To present the basic scientific concepts.

• To communicate the experience in the application of the technology.

• To foster communication between industry and academia.

• To discuss currently available as well as new concepts.

To give an overview of existing software and methods.

To define and run benchmark test cases.

SIG workshops will not be limited to CFD applications, as one of the goals of the organization is to benefit from the experience already gained in other areas such as structural mechanics and aeroacoustics.

Our first meeting will be opened at 10.00 a.m. with the definition of the scientific concept of the SIG. Participants are then encouraged to give a short presentation (approx. 10 min.) of their technical applications, the software tools they apply, and the results accomplished thus far. In the afternoon concepts for the future work and collaboration in the SIG will be discussed. This may also include the definition of benchmark cases for various areas of application, e.g. hydrodynamics, aero-thermodynamics, structural mechanics, and/or generic tests.
