Novel Inverse Airfoil Design Utilizing Parametric Equations

Abstract: NOVEL INVERSE AIRFOIL DESIGN UTILIZING PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS Kevin A. LaneThe engineering problem of airfoil design has been of great theoretical interest for almost a century and has led to hundreds of papers written and dozens of methods developed over the years. This interest stems from the practical implications of airfoil design. Airfoil selection significantly influences the application's aerodynamic performance. Tailoring an airfoil profile to its specific application can have great performance advantage… Show more

“…These procedures can be computationally expensive because several flow solutions must be calculated to specify the direction of deepest descent, fitness of individuals in the population, etc. in order to determine the shape changes (Lane, 2010). Furthermore, the required number of flow solutions increases dramatically with the number of design variables.…”

“…In case of a specific set of the inverse design-type methods, the geometry modification is based on the prescribed set of the pre-defined variables at the wall by simple, fast and robust algorithms, which makes them especially attractive amongst other optimization techniques (Lane, 2010). The wall modification can be completed within much less flow solutions for inverse design techniques than for direct optimization methods.…”
