A non-linear optimization mathematical model of commercial aircraft noise on approach under energy constraint

This thesis develops an mathematical non-linear optimization model of flight paths of two aircraft in approach minimizing the perceived noise on the ground while energetic constraint is considered. This is an analytical model of non-linear and non-convex optimal control governed by a system of ordinary differential equations resulting from the dynamics of flight and with their associated constraints. Our contribution focuses on the mathematical modeling equations, optimization and algorithmic programming of an acoustic non-linear optimization model of two aircraft simultaneously on approach. The addressed issues are the mathematical development of the «correct» 3D model, their flight dynamics, the mathematical modeling of the optimal control of dynamic system, the consideration of fuel consumption by aircraft as a differential equation with a consumption function specific variable depending on the evolution of their dynamics, the mathematical modeling of the instantaneous objective function representing the overall noise of the two approaching aircraft. Resolution deals with the direct method of sequential quadratic programming with confidence regions while AMPL programming language and KNITRO are considered. An indirect method was applied under the Pontryagin maximum principle, followed by a Runge-Kutta symplectic partitioned discretization to demonstrate the commutation between the direct approach and indirect approach. The expected results confirm optimal trajectories reducing ground noise and fuel consumption of two aircraft
