AVT-385 on Multi-Fidelity Methods for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization

Research Lecture Series

to be held in Istanbul, Türkiye, 08-09 July 2024

The lecture series is open to citizens from NATO nations, Australia and Japan.

Scientific Objectives 

The objectives of the Lecture Series are: (1) to overview MF methods and the application of MF methods to relevant design problems; (2) to overview existing methods for surrogate modeling; (3) to study the mathematical character of existing and emerging MF methods; (4) to examine the application of MF methods to a variety of benchmark problems; and (5) to explore research topics in MF methods and enabling technologies.  Lecture series notes are expected to be of lasting and broad utility.

Topics to be covered 

• MF method nomenclature and principles, MF method performance criteria
• Survey of MF strategies and enabling tools
• Examples drawn from selected analytic functions and literature cases
• Surrogate modeling fundamentals, including Gaussian process approaches, neural nets
• Adaptive sampling and active learning approaches for design space exploration and optimization; Bayesian optimization
• MF surrogate methods for cost-sensitive design studies
• Comparative study of MF methods applied to analytic functions
• Vehicle benchmark design problems
• Comparative study of MF methods applied to vehicle benchmark design problems
• Computational frameworks for MF design
• MF methods for Uncertainty Quantification and design under uncertainty
• Research in MF methods
