Praktikum am Fachbereich Mathematik - Januar 2022
Schülerinnen und Schüler der 9. bis 12. Klasse absolvieren ihr zweiwöchiges Schulpraktikum am Fachbereich Mathematik an der TU Kaiserslautern. Vom 17. bis 28. Januar haben sie die Möglichkeit, spannende Einblicke in die Welt der Mathematik zu bekommen. Neben einem Besuch von Vorlesungen lernen sie mathematische Konzepte kennen, die ihnen in Vorträgen und Workshops von Mitarbeitern und Mitarbeiterinnen des Fachbereichs Mathematik nähergebracht werden. Außerdem arbeiten sie eigenständig an Projekten, um das neu erworbene Wissen anzuwenden.
Die Praktikumsinhalte werden vom KOMMS sowie den Arbeitsgruppen des Fachbereichs Mathematik gestaltet.

Title: Multidisciplinary Design Optimization for Next-Generation Sustainable Aircraft
Abstract:
Achieving climate neutrality in aviation demands a clearly structured roadmap for the integration of disruptive technologies and innovative operational concepts. Hybrid-electric propulsion systems and novel wing configurations offer promising opportunities to reduce emissions, yet their adoption introduces significant complexity in the early stages of aircraft design. These technologies involve unconventional architectures and mission-level energy management strategies that lack historical design precedents, increasing uncertainty and challenging traditional methods.
To address these challenges, Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) offers a rigorous framework that formulates aircraft design as a numerical optimization problem. It integrates analyses from multiple disciplines into a unified environment, enabling the simultaneous optimization of key performance metrics and supporting the development of balanced, high-efficiency concepts.
This seminar will illustrate the application of MDO to the conceptual design of advanced aircraft configurations. The first case study, developed within the Horizon Europe INDIGO project, explores a configuration featuring a high-aspect-ratio wing and distributed hybrid-electric propulsion, optimized to reduce noise and pollutant emissions in airport vicinities. The second case study addresses hydrogen-powered aircraft, targeting a broader reduction of aviation-related emissions at the global scale, and highlighting the role of MDO in integrating unconventional propulsion systems into viable design concepts.
