Implementation of Intrusive Polynomial Chaos in CFD Codes and Application to 3D Navier-Stokes

Abstract

In present day, the technology reduction of product development costs and design cycle time are essential ingredients in a competitive industrial environment. E.g. in aeronautics the objectives set by the EU are to reduce aircraft development costs by resp. 20 and 50 % in the short and long term. Virtual prototyping and advanced design optimization, which largely depend on the predictive performance and the reliability of simulation software, are essential tools to reach this goal.
