Constraint-based Shape Parameterization for Aerodynamic Design
We present a method for constructing design-appropriate shape parameterizations of discrete surfaces for optimization of flight vehicles. The method allows the designer to choose a set of points located on the aerodynamic surface to serve as design variables. Arbitrary geometric constraints can be prescribed and are intrinsically incorporated into the parameterization. The technique supports bo...
متن کاملAdaptive Shape Parameterization for Aerodynamic Design
This report concerns research performed in fulfillment of a 2.5-year NASA Seedling Fund grant to develop an adaptive shape parameterization approach for aerodynamic optimization of discrete geometries. The overarching motivations for this work were the potential to radically reduce manual setup time and achieve faster and more robust design improvement, especially for problems where many design...
متن کاملComputational algorithms for aerodynamic analysis and design *
While the applications of computational fluid dynamics are pervasive throughout applied science and engineering, ranging from astrophysics to the design of cooling systems for semi-conductors, its role in aircraft design is crucial to an unusual extent, because of the narrow margins within which aircraft can operate efficiently. If computational aerodynamics is to be truly effective in the desi...
متن کاملAerodynamic Shape Optimization Using Unstructured Grid Methods
Two unstructured-grid Euler-based CFD codes, AIRPLANE and FLOWCART were coupled to a gradientbased quasi-Newton finite-difference optimization algorithm. These two optimization techniques were developed to provide detailed aerodynamic shape optimization methods for complete configurations with efficient grid generation methods. AIRPLANE utilizes a tetrahedral mesh whereas FLOWCART uses a hexahe...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization Methods for the Aerodynamic Shape Design of Transonic Cascades
Two global optimization algorithms, namely Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA), have been applied to the aerodynamic shape optimization of transonic cascades; the objective being the redesign of an existing turbomachine airfoil to improve its performance by minimizing the total pressure loss while satisfying a number of constraints. This is accomplished by modifying the blade ca...
