This article presents a design optimization method for maximizing lift without increasing the drag of multielement airfoils at takeoff and landing configurations. It uses an incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver (INS2D), a chimera overlaid grid system (PEGSUS), and a constrained numerical optimizer (DOT). Aerodynamic sensitivity derivatives are obtained using finite differencing. The method is first validated with single-element airfoil designs and then applied to three-element airfoil designs. Reliable design results are obtained at reasonable costs. Results demonstrate that numerical optimization can be an attractive design tool for the development of multielement high-lift systems.

High-lift design optimization using Navier-Stokes equations Eyi, Sinan; Rogers, SE; Kwak, D (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1996-05-01) This article presents a design optimization method for maximizing lift without increasing the drag of multielement airfoils at takeoff and landing configurations. It uses an incompressible Navier-Stokes dow solver (INS2D), a chimera overlaid grid system (PEGSUS), and a constrained numerical optimizer (DOT). Aerodynamic sensitivity derivatives are obtained using finite differencing. The method is first validated with single-clement airfoil designs and then applied to three-element airfoil designs. Reliable d...
Multistage launch vehicle design with thrust profile and trajectory optimization / Civek Coşkun, Ezgi; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In the frame of this thesis, a Matlab® based design tool utilizing a general purpose optimal control solver GPOPS-II® was developed for the optimization of ascent trajectories of multistage launch vehicles. This tool can be utilized both for preliminary mission design of an existing launch vehicle and conceptual design of a new launch vehicle. In the preliminary mission design of an existing launch vehicle, maximizing payload mass is a very common performance measure. Therefore, a trajectory optimization co...
An Aerostructural 3D wing optimization using parallel genetic algorithms Arpacı, Anıl; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) As a multi-disciplinary optimization problem, aerostructural shape optimization of airplane wings requires both aerodynamic and structural analysis to meet an objective defined as the sum of parameters like drag to lift ratio and wing weight, subjected to penalty of structural yield stress and geometrical sizing constraints to get aerodynamically efficient and lightweight 3D wings. In our study, genetic algorithms are utilized for optimization of 3D wing with its internal structural components. In order to ...
Optimization of flapping motion of airfoils in biplane configuration for maximum thrust and/or efficiency Kaya, Mustafa; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Jones, Kevin D.; Platzer, Max F. (2007-01-01) Flapping motion of airfoils in a biplane configuration are optimized for maximizing the thrust and propulsive efficiency. Unsteady flowfields over airfoils flapping in a combined plunge and pitch are computed with a parallel viscous flow solver on moving and deforming overset grids. The amplitudes of the sinusoidal pitch and plunge motions and the phase shift between them are optimized at a fixed flapping frequency and average distance between two airfoils. A gradient based optimization algorithm is impleme...
A parallel aerostructural shape optimization platform for airplane wings Oktay, Erdal; Arpacı, Anıl; Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Akay, Hasan Umur (null; 2019-05-17) A parallel design platform is developed for aerostructural shape optimization of airplane wings. The developed tools consist of a panel method-based aerodynamic solver, a finite element-based structural solver, geometry and mesh generation modules and a parallel genetic algorithm optimizer, with emphasis given to automation and fast solutions
