NATO STO AVT-297 | Development of a Framework for Validation of Computational Tools for Analysis of Air and Sea Vehicles

In the NATO AVT-297 project, Efe Yamaç Yarbaşı played a pivotal role as a lead graduate researcher within an international team of experts. His contributions were centered on developing a novel systems engineering-based process for validating computational tools used in the analysis of air and sea vehicles. This involved a comprehensive examination of coupled constituent physics and their representation in computational models, assessing their accuracy and relevance for various intended applications. His work was instrumental in identifying a validation database for the intended uses of vehicle systems, with a specific focus on demonstrating this process on a transport aircraft.

Efe’s involvement in the project was not only a significant part of his Ph.D. research at Georgia Tech but also a contribution to the field of systems engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). His efforts advanced the understanding of how different physical phenomena interact within simulation environments and how these interactions can be accurately captured and assessed. His work laid the foundation for more reliable and effective use of computational tools in the design and operation of complex vehicle systems, thereby enhancing the predictive accuracy and operational efficiency of these systems.

The research output of this effort will be published as two chapters of a NATO STO Technical Report.
