9th Applied Aerodynamics Conference, 1991, Maryland, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, 23 - 25 Eylül 1991
© 1991 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.An aerodynamic design method is developed which couples flow analysis and numerical optimization to find an airfoil shape with improved aerodynamic performance. The flow analysis code is based on the coupled Euler and boundary layer equations in order to include the rotational, viscous physics of transonic flows. The numerical optimization process searches for the best feasible design for the specified design objective and design constraints. The method is demonstrated with several examples at transonic flow conditions.
