The Sir Lawrence Wackett Aerospace and Defence Centre, based at RMIT University, is Australia’s leading academic aerospace R&D institution. The Flight Sciences Lab, led by Prof. Pier Marzocca, supports Australian civil and defense R&D initiatives in aircraft design, unsteady aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, structural dynamics and structural health monitoring, with over $15M/year in funding from industry and government agencies. Over the past decade, in partnership with the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), the Flight Sciences Lab have developed the aircraft Operational Loads and Asset Diagnostics (OPERAND) suite, with data-driven and physics-based capabilities that include: High-fidelity and reduced-order aeroservoelastic modelling suite, GPU-native Lattice-Boltzmann CFD code, Prognostics and Health Management software, Flight flutter mode detection tools, Store clearance framework. In this seminar, Prof. Marzocca will provide an overview of the Wackett Centre, OPERAND suite of tools, and of the Flight Sciences group’s current research activities.
