RANS-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 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 کاملRouting strategies for underwater gliders
rapidly reach a specified waypoint or to maximize the ability to map a measured field, both in the presence of significant currents. For rapid transit in a frozen velocity field, direct minimization of travel time provides a trajectory ‘‘ray’’ equation. A simpler routing algorithm that requires less information is also discussed. Two approaches are developed to maximize the mapping ability, as ...
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...
متن کاملNonlinear Aeroelasticity of a Very Flexible Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft
This paper presents a study on the coupled aeroelastic/flight dynamic stability and gust response of a blendedwing-body aircraft that derives from the U.S. Air Force’s High Lift-Over-Drag Active (HiLDA) wing experimental model. An effective method is used to model very flexible blended-wing-body vehicles based on a low-order aeroelastic formulation that is capable of capturing the important str...
