Parameterization of Airfoils and Its Application in Aerodynamic Optimization
This article presents the area of aerodynamic design optimization, and emphasizes the topics of the most intensive current research within this area. Various approaches for shape parameterization, optimization algorithms and metamodelling are briefly explained. A real-world application is presented.
متن کاملAdjoint-Based Aerodynamic Optimization of Supersonic Biplane Airfoils
This paper addresses the aerodynamic performance of Busemann-type supersonic biplanes at both design and offdesign conditions. An adjoint-based optimization technique is used to optimize the aerodynamic shape of the biplane to reduce the wave drag at a series of Mach numbers ranging from 1.1 to 1.7, at both acceleration and deceleration conditions. The optimized biplane airfoils dramatically re...
متن کاملMulti-Fidelity High-Lift Aerodynamic Optimization of Single-Element Airfoils
We describe a computationally efficient simulation-driven design methodology for single-element airfoils at high-lift conditions. Direct optimization of an accurate but computationally expensive high-fidelity simulation model based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations is replaced by iterative updating and re-optimization of a cheap surrogate. The surrogate model exploits a low-fidelity ...
متن کاملAerodynamic Performance of Biological Airfoils
Experimental studies on static, non-flapping dragonfly wings have shown favorable aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds number (Re ≤ 10,000). High lift is hypothesized to arise from the dragonfly’s pleated wing structure. A numerical study of flow past a modeled dragonfly wing section as well as its comparison to a corresponding profiled airfoil and a flat plate were conducted at Re = 10,000....
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...
