SUMMARY:Design optimisation using computational fluid dynamics applied to 
 a land-based supersonic vehicle\, the BLOODHOUND SuperSonic Car - Dr Tanya

DESCRIPTION:This talk will give an overview of the computational design op
 timisation strategy employed to achieve an engineering solution to the pro
 blem of excessive supersonic lift at the rear of the BLOODHOUND SuperSonic
  Car. I will describe the design challenge\, give an overview of the compu
 tational fluid dynamics procedure used\, then detail the design optimisati
 on strategy employed. The optimal design resulting from this study will be
  presented and contrasted with the un-optimised baseline geometry. This wo
 rk is the subject of an upcoming joint paper with members of Swansea Unive
 rsity and BLOODHOUND Ltd. The final vehicle geometry presented is currentl
 y being built and is due to be tested in 2012 in an attempt to increase th
 e World Land Speed Record from 763mph to 1\,000mph\, and to inspire the ne
 xt generation of scientists\, engineers and mathematicians in the process.
