Pros and Cons of Airfoil Optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
Optimization has long been considered as a means to solve the aerodynamic design problem in a formal and general manner. Early work by Hicks, Murman, and Vanderplaats [1, 2] investigated this possibility for transonic airfoil flows, with the results being encouraging but showing some rather unexpected results and difficulties. These early efforts were characterized by relatively few design parameters being used, primarily due to the computational costs of black-box gradient calculation via finite-differencing and the limited available computer resources.

Transonic Airfoil Shape Optimization in Preliminary Design Environment
A modified profile optimization method using a smoothest shape modification strategy (POSSEM) is developed for airfoil shape optimization in a preliminary design environment. POSSEM is formulated to overcome two technical difficulties frequently encountered when conducting multipoint airfoil optimization within a high-resolution design space: the generation of undesirable optimal airfoil shapes...

Linear optimization (LO) is the fundamental problem of mathematical optimization. It admits an enormous number of applications in economics, engineering, science and many other fields. The three most significant classes of algorithms for solving LO problems are: Pivot, Ellipsoid and Interior Point Methods. Because Ellipsoid Methods are not efficient in practice we will concentrate on the comput...
متن کاملAirfoil Shape Optimization with Adaptive Mutation Genetic Algorithm
An efficient method for scattering Genetic Algorithm (GA) individuals in the design space is proposed to accelerate airfoil shape optimization. The method used here is based on the variation of the mutation rate for each gene of the chromosomes by taking feedback from the current population. An adaptive method for airfoil shape parameterization is also applied and its impact on the optimum desi...
