This paper presents our work towards achieving a model based approach to three dimensional morphing. It describes the initial algorithms and ideas that we envisioned, the final algorithm we developed and implemented, the environment we worked in, our visualization techniques, and future work planned on the subject. Introduction: Different types of morphing Morphing is an interpolation technique...

Adaptive morphing trailing edge wings have the potential to reduce the fuel burn of transport aircraft. In this paper, we quantify the aerodynamic performance benefits of a morphing trailing using aerodynamic design optimization. The aerodynamic model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier– Stokes equations with a Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is used i...

III Acknowledgements I would like to thank Mark Stanley and Pete Marshall from SCEE who both provided excellent support during this project whilst I was developing the facial morphing applications. I would also like to thank Paul Porter from Sumo Digital for allowing me to demonstrate the original version of my facial morphing tool and giving me excellent feedback which was used to define the r...

Tidal turbines experience large load fluctuations due to the unsteady environment and shear in tidal flow. Mitigating these without affecting mean would result lower capital operational costs. In this paper we discuss how could be achieved through blades that passively elastically adapt their camber angle of attack counteract flow conditions. Firstly, underlying principles thrust mitigation. We...

Morphing between 3D objects is a fundamental technique in computer graphics. Traditional methods of shape morphing focus on establishing meaningful correspondences and finding smooth interpolation between shapes. Such methods however only take geometric information as input and thus cannot in general avoid producing unnatural interpolation, in particular for large-scale deformations. This paper...

Linear geometry interpolation (or morphing) is useful to display key frame animations. This work briefly explains prerequisites and useful properties for morphing and describes a prototype implementation within the geometry framework of OpenSG.

Image morphing techniques can create a smooth transition between two images. However, one of the main weakness of the image morphing technique is that intermediate images in the transition often have physically incorrect shading such as highlights and shadows. Moreover, we cannot alter viewing and lighting conditions when creating the intermediate images. That is because those images are obtain...

This paper presents an unsteady flow analysis of a 3D wing with morphing trailing edge flap (TEF) and seamless side-edge transition between the morphed static parts by introducing parametrization method. First, steady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) statically TEF is performed results are compared both baseline clean traditional hinged configuration at Reynolds number 0.7 × 106 for range...

Sound morphing is one of the successful synthesis technologies for recent computer music, and several studies have been reported on this subject. We have proposed a sound morphing algorithm based on a sinusoidal model. In this paper, a correspondence search algorithm is improved, which is core technology of morphing based on a sinusoidal model. Then wider applications of the algorithm are intro...
