A Study on Airfoil Design for Future Mars Airplane
نویسندگان
چکیده
An optimum airfoil design for future Mars airplane for Mars exploration is obtained by evolutionary computation coupled with a two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver. The optimized airfoil design is also compared with other airfoil designs optimized at different Reynolds number or at different Mach number to discuss Reynolds number and Mach number effects on airfoil design. These results indicate same important design policies in airfoil design optimization in regard to Reynolds number and Mach number effects.
