Published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., with permission.An adjoint-based aerodynamic shape optimization framework for natural laminar flows is developed. The laminar to turbulent-transition onset is predicted by the correlation-based Bas–Cakmakcioglu transition model that is coupled with the Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model. A discrete adjoint implementation is subsequently developed. Automatic differentiation is utilized to construct the partial derivatives in the discrete adjoint formulation. The turbulence and transition models are fully coupled into the sensitivity derivative evaluations, as well as into the objective function evaluations. The sensitivity derivatives evaluated by the discrete adjoint solver are validated against those of the finite central difference method. The discrete adjoint-based aerodynamic shape optimization framework developed for natural laminar flows is successfully employed to optimize aerodynamic characteristics of the NLF(1)-0416 airfoil and a low-aspect-ratio wing.

Development of a discrete adjoint-based aerodynamic shape optimization tool for natural laminar flows Kaya, Halil; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020) An adjoint-based aerodynamic shape optimization framework for natural laminar flows is developed. A Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes flow solver with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model is coupled with the recently developed Bas-Cakmakcioglu transition model in order to predict laminar to turbulent transition onset. In the gradient-based optimization process, the sensitivity derivatives required by the optimization algorithm is obtained by the discrete adjoint method, which is developed for the in-house fl...
Dynamical modelling of the flow over a flapping wing using proper orthogonal decomposition and system identification techniques DURMAZ, Oğuz; KARACA, H Deniz; ÖZEN, G Deniz; KASNAKOĞLU, COŞKU; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (2013-04-01) A systematic approach for the dynamical modelling of the unsteady flow over a flapping wing is developed, which is based on instantaneous velocity field data of the flow collected using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The location and orientation of the airfoil is obtained by image processing and the airfoil is filled with proper velocity data. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to these post-processed images to compute POD modes and time co...
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...
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 ...
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...
