Aerodynamic Design Optimization Studies of a Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft
Abstract The blended-wing body is an aircraft configuration that has the potential to be more efficient than conventional large transport aircraft configurations with the same capability. However, the design of the blended-wing is challenging due to the tight coupling between aerodynamic performance, trim, and stability. Other design challenges include the nature and number of the design variab...
متن کاملRANS-based Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of a Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft
A series of RANS-based aerodynamic shape optimization for an 800-passenger blended-wing-body aircraft is performed. A gradient-based optimization algorithm and a parallel structured multiblock RANS solver with Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model are used. The derivatives are computed using a discrete adjoint method considering both frozen-turbulence and full-turbulence assumptions. A total of 274...
متن کاملAerodynamic Shape Optimization of Wing and Wing-Body Configurations Using Control Theory
This paper describes the implementation of optimization techniques based on control theory for wing and wing-body design. In previous studies [18, 19,221 i t wasshown that control theory could be used to devise an effective optimization procedure for airfoils and wings in which the shape and the surrounding body-fitted mesh are both generated analytically, and the control is the mapping functio...
متن کاملWing shape optimization using FFD and twist parameterization
Numerical shape optimization for aerodynamic problems can lead to improved designs than what is possible by conventional methods. Gradient-based optimization methods require the development of adjoint codes which can be a lengthy exercise and is also not very mature for RANS-based approaches. Furthermore, they may lead to locally optimal solution only, which is not desirable, especially in a pr...
متن کاملAnalysis Design and Optimization of Non-cylindrical Fuselage for Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) Vehicle
Initial results of an investigation towards finding an efficient non-cylindrical fuselage configuration for a conceptual blended-wing-body flight vehicle were presented. A simplified 2-D beam column analysis and optimization was performed first. Then a set of detailed finite element models of deep sandwich panel and ribbed shell construction concepts were analyzed and optimized. Generally these...
