Projection-Based Model Order Reduction for Practical Parametric High-Fidelity Numerical Simulations of Maneuvering Hypersonic Weapons

The main objective of this SBIR effort is three-fold.: To review the accuracy and cost of the computational models underlying existing, industry-standard computational tools for the simulation of a generic hypersonic maneuvering vehicle. To demonstrate the feasibility of a computational framework for projection-based model order reduction and hyperreduction, and of its potential for delivering for hypersonic applications the accuracy of a high-fidelity aerodynamic model at or under the cost of a low-fidelity model. To develop a prototype plan for adapting to the CREATE-AV Kestrel Solver both offline and online stages of this computational framework.
