Welcome to the Aerospace Design Laboratory, a computational analysis and design research laboratory in Stanford University's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
The Aerospace Design Lab specializes in the development of high-fidelity, multi-disciplinary analysis and design methods to enable the creation of efficient, evironmentally friendly, and realizable aerospace systems. Our work in the past has involved a large number of applications including transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic aircraft, helicopters, turbomachinery, and launch and re-entry vehicles.
Current topics of research interest include V&V'd multiphysics simulations of high-speed flows, uncertainty quantification in the analysis and design of complex systems, architectures for high-fidelity multi-disciplinary analysis and design, and the use of advanced mathematical techniques and large-scale high-performance computing to realize a simulation-based design vision.
