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.

Transonic airfoil design by constrained optimization Lee, K.D.; Eyi, Sinan (1991-01-01) 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.

Transonic turbomachinery blade design using optimization Eyi, Sinan (null; 1997-01-01) © 1997, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.An aerodynamic design method is presented that couples flow analysis and numerical optimization to improve the aerodynamic performance of a turbomachinery blade subject to specified design objectives and constraints. The flow field prediction is based on the Euler equations in order to represent the nonlinear rotational physics of transonic flows. The sensitivity analysis that measures the response of the flow with respect to a geometry perturb...
Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades using a parallel genetic algorithm Polat, Ozge; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2013-12-31) An aerodynamic shape optimization methodology based on Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum theory is developed for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines Optimization studies are performed for the maximization of power production at a specific wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter. The potential flow solver with a boundary layer model, XFOIL, provides sectional aerodynamic loads. The sectional chord length, the sectional twist and the blade profiles at root, mid and tip regions of the b...
Adjoint Based Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of Subsonic Submerged Intake AHMED, ALI; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-5-04) In this study the aerodynamic shape optimization of subsonic submerged intake is performed. The total pressure at the aerodynamic interface plane and lift are employed as objective functions. Drag is constrained and employed as penalty objective. Open-ware platforms are used including SALOME for solid modeling, GMSH for the hybrid mesh generation and SU2 for flow solutions and adjoint based shape optimization. Free form deformation box is employed for shape parameterization and surface deformation. Ini...
Inverse airfoil design using the Navier-stokes equations Eyi, Sinan (null; 1993-01-01) The feasibility of the use of the Navier-Stokes equations in aerodynamic design is examined. The Navier-Stokes equations can include the rotational viscous physics at transonic speeds, and hence are expected to produce more reliable design. The target pressure is specified and a least- square optimization is used to minimize the pressure discrepancy between the target and designed airfoils. The sensitivity analysis which determines the response of the flow to a geometry perturbation is performed based on a ...
