Surrogate-Guided Adaptive Importance Sampling for Failure Probability Estimation
Ashwin Renganathan, Annie S. Booth
We consider the sample efficient estimation of failure probabilities from expensive oracle evaluations of a limit state function via importance sampling (IS). In contrast to conven…
: Convolutional Regularized Least Squares Framework for Reduced Order Modeling of Transonic Flows
Muhammad Bilal, Ashwin Renganathan
We develop a convolutional regularized least squares () framework for reduced-order modeling of transonic flows with shocks. Conventional proper orthogonal decomposi…
Multiobjective Aerodynamic Design Optimization of the NASA Common Research Model
Kade Carlson, Ashwin Renganathan
Aircraft aerodynamic design optimization must account for the varying operating conditions along the cruise segment as opposed to designing at one fixed operating condition, to arr…
Derivative-free optimization is competitive for aerodynamic design optimization in moderate dimensions
Punya Plaban, Peter Bachman, Ashwin Renganathan
Aerodynamic design optimization is an important problem in aircraft design that depends on the interplay between a numerical optimizer and a high-fidelity flow physics solver. Deri…
