Computational Optimization & Experimental Validation of Gas Turbine Cooling Configurations

  • PI Mark Ricklick

  • Optimization techniques have recently matured to the point that they can be routinely utilized in the design process, particularly when coupled with Computer Aided Engineering tools. With respect to gas turbine cooling design methods, optimization tools allow the engineer to develop configurations which promote high levels of heat removal, while minimizing parasitic losses.
Cost Optimization Modeling for Airport Capacity Expansion Problems in Metropolitan Areas

  • PI Woo Jin Choi

    CO-I Dothang Truong

  • The purpose of this research was to develop a cost optimization model to identify an optimal solution to expand airport capacity in metropolitan areas in consideration of demand uncertainties. The study first analyzed four airport capacity expansion cases from different regions of the world to identify possible solutions to expand airport capacity and key cost functions which are highly related to airport capacity problems. Using mixedinteger nonlinear programming (MINLP), a deterministic optimization model was developed with the inclusion of six cost functions: capital cost, operation cost, delay cost, noise cost, operation readiness, and airport transfer (ORAT) cost, and passenger access cost. These six cost functions can be used to consider a possible trade-off between airport capacity and congestion and address multiple stakeholders’ cost concerns.

Creating Connections: Bed bugs to UAV Swarms

Data Mining and PIC (Prepare Industrial Career) Math

  • PI Hong Liu

  • PIC Math is sponsored by NSF and MAA to multiple subcontracts. Each subcontractor gets 6000 dollars to make industrial connections and send students to conferences. These industrial math problems are mainly in mathematical modeling and data mining. 

Databank of Scenarios Supporting Development of PTS Guidelines

  • PI Michael Wiggins

  • Dr. Wiggins is developing a databank of scenarios that supports the development of pilot certification training programs (PTS Guidelines) and additional required training (mountain, ADIZ, thunderstorms, etc.).
Data-Link Weather in the Cockput Training Tools and Strategies

  • PI John Lanicci

  • In the general aviation community, the accident lethality rate for weather-related accidents has been steady at 60-80% over the last 20 years, seemingly unaffected by technological advances such as Internet access and real-time data-linked weather information.
Deep-Learning-Based Unobtrusive Estimation of Pilot Adverse Interactions and Loss of Energy State Awareness

  • PI Hever Moncayo

  • ​This project aimed at gaining more insight into the mechanisms of pilot SD and LESA occurrence, capturing their dynamic fingerprint, and developing on-board intelligent schemes capable of predicting and detecting these dangerous phenomena associated to pilot behaviors.
