Dissertation Defense: Aeropropulsive Design Optimization of a High-Bypass Ratio Turbofan Engine

Stricter emissions and noise regulations are pushing turbofan engines towards higher bypass ratios, complicating the integration with airframe aerodynamics. There is a growing need for design methods that can manage these challenges while simultaneously improving the performance.
This research addresses this need with computational methods that connect multiple engineering and physics disciplines to efficiently perform the design and integration of aircraft engines using numerical optimization.
