High-Performance Supersonic Missile Inlet Design Using Automated Optimization

A multi-level design strategy for supersonic missile inlet design is developed. The multi-level design strategy combines an e cient simple physical model analysis tool and a sophisticated CFD Navier-Stokes analysis tool. The e cient simple analysis tool is incorporated into the optimization loop and the sophisticated CFD analysis tool is used to verify, select and lter the nal design. The Genet...

aerodynamic shape optimization of supersonic projectile fins

the aim of this work is to find an efficient aerodynamic-based design algorithm for projectile fins and configuration shape optimization. three-dimensional supersonic flow over a projectile with fins at much number 5 and one degree angle of attack was studied. the runge-kutta method and multi-block technique was used to solve the governing equations. a basic configuration was assumed for the fi...

Aerodynamic Optimization Under a Range of Operating Conditions

In aerodynamic design, good performance is generally required under a range of operating conditions, including off-design conditions. This can be achieved throughmultipoint optimization. The desired performance objective and operating conditions must be specified, and the resulting optimization problemmust be solved in such amanner that the desired performance is achieved. Issues involved in fo...

Thermodynamic Optimization of Tube-Fin Evaporators Operating under Frosting Conditions

In this study, the method of entropy generation minimization (i.e., design aimed at facilitating both heat, mass and fluid flows) is used to improve the evaporator geometry (aspect ratio and fin density) considering the irreversibilities produced by the heat and mass transfer, and viscous flow processes. A fully algebraic semi-empirical model was put forward to simulate the thermal-hydraulic be...
