Software

This dataset contains the codebase developed for the Unified Ducted fan Code (UDC) and its implementation into a ducted fan optimisation framework using the Unified Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (U-NSGA-III), as part of the MSc thesis titled "A Framework for Medium-Fidelity Ducted Fan Design Optimisation" by T.S. Vermeulen at Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering.


Note that the MTFLOW software used as the foundation for this codebase is not included, as it is licensed. Free academic licenses are available from the Technology Licensing Office at MIT.


Please refer to the README of the repository for details on installation and the required dependencies.
