Applying evolutionary optimization on the airfoil design
In this paper, lift and drag coefficients were numerically investigated using NUMECA software in a set of 4-digit NACA airfoils. Two metamodels based on the evolved group method of data handling (GMDH) type neural networks were then obtained for modeling both lift coefficient (CL) and drag coefficient (CD) with respect to the geometrical design parameters. After using such obtained polynomial n...
متن کاملViscous single and multicomponent airfoil design with genetic algorithms
An optimization procedure aimed at the design of multicomponent airfoils for high-lift applications is described. The procedure is based on a multiobjective genetic algorithm; two #ow solvers have been coupled with the genetic algorithm: a viscous}inviscid interaction method, based on an Euler #ow solver and an integral boundary layer routine, and a method based on a full potential #ow solver. ...
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 کاملModeling and Multi-Objective Optimization of 4-Digit NACA Airfoils Using Genetic Algorithms
In the present study, multi-objective optimization of 4-digit NACA airfoils is performed at three steps. At the first step, lift (CL) and drag (CD) coefficient in a set of 4-digit NACA airfoils are numerically investigated using commercial software NUMECA. Two meta-models based on the evolved Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type neural networks are obtained, at the second step, for modelin...
متن کاملElastomeric Actuators on Airfoils for Aerodynamic Control of Lift and Drag
This paper investigates and characterizes the aerodynamic performance of a unique platform of airfoils with inflatable, elastomeric actuators. By controlling the inflation of stretchable and tough pneumatic bladders of silicone at specific locations of threedimensionally printed airfoils, experiments demonstrate it is possible to manipulate aerodynamic lift and drag. Measurements on morphable a...
