Abstract:

An aerodynamic inverse design method is developed which couples computational fluid dynamics(CFD) with numerical optimization. Starting from an initial baseline configuration, an airfoil shape which satisfies the given pressure distribution is found by solving the geometric and flow control equations using the CFD. The design method is tested for several transonic airfoils. The results demonstrate that the method can be an attractive design tool for aerodynamic design.
