Aerodynamic analysis of an airfoil in the transonic region was automated in order to enable parametric study by using the journal file of the commercial analysis code FLUENT, pre/post process Gambit and computational mathematics code MATLAB. The automated capability was illustrated via NACA 0012 and RAE 2822 airfoils. This analysis was carried out at Mach numbers ranged from 0.70 to 0.80, angles of attack; 1$^{\circ}$, 2$^{\circ}$ and 4$^{\circ}$, Reynolds numbers; 4.0${\times}$106, 6.5${\times}$106. The analysis results of a pressure coefficient were verified by comparing with the experimental data which were measured in terms of chord length because the pressure coefficient of an airfoil surface is a good estimator of flow characteristics. The results of two airfoils show that this analysis code is useful enough to be used in the design optimization of airfoil.

This paper describes a brief aerodynamic design procedure of multi-stage axial turbine. The design procedure was established including one dimensional scratch design, through flow analysis with empirical correlations, two dimensional airfoil design and three dimensional airfoil stacking. Detailed aerodynamic performance assessment was done with full three dimensional CFD method at the design and off design conditions to construct turbine performance map. With the present method, aerodynamic design procedure of 1st and 2nd stages of high pressure turbine for 10,000lbf class turbofan engine was introduced.

익형에 대한 공력 최적설계 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 점성 유동장에 대한 보다 정확한 정보를 설계에 반영하기 위하여 나비어-스톡스 방정식을 사용하였다. 최적설계 방법으로는 민감도 해석을 위하여 수정유용방향탐색방법(Modified Method of Feasible Directions, MMFD)을 사용하였으며 이동거리 계산을 위하여 다항식 보간법을 사용하였다. 또한 설계시간을 단축하기 위하여 MPI를 사용하여 병렬화하였다. 전체 유동장을 8개의 영역으로 분할하였으며 분할된 영역은 지정된 프로세서에 할당하여 계산을 수행하였다. 민감도 계산을 위하여 각 프로세서에 할당하여 계산을 수행하였다. 민감도 계산을 위하여 각 프로세서에 각 탐색방향을 할당하여 민감도를 병렬계산하였다. 본 연구의 수행 결과 양력은 허용한도 내의 일정한 값을 유지하는 가운데 항력이 감소된 최적화된 익형의 형상을 설계할 수 있었다.

Propeller shall have high efficiency and improved aerodynamic characteristics to get the thrust to fly at high speed for the turboprop aircraft. That is way Clark-Y airfoil which is used to conventional 1600kW class aircraft propeller is selected as a blade airfoil. Adkins method is used for aerodynamic design and performance analysis with respect to the propeller design point. Adkins method is based on the vortex-blade element theory which design the propeller to satisfy the condition for minimum energy loss. propeller geometry is generated by varying chord length and pitch angle at design point of turboprop aircraft. The propeller design results indicate that is evaluated to be properly constructed, through analysis of propeller aerodynamic characteristics using the Meshless method and MRF, SM method.

Two aspects of the design of a small-scale smart wing are addressed in this work, related to the ability of the wing to modify its cross section assuming the shape of two different airfoils and to the possibility of deflecting the profiles near the trailing edge in order to obtain hingeless control surfaces. The actuation is provided by one-way shape memory alloy wires eventually coupled to springs, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) being among the most promising materials for this kind of applications. The points to be actuated along the profiles and the displacements to be imposed are selecetd so that they satisfactorily approximate the change from an airfoil to the other and to result in an adequate deflection of the control surface; the actuators and their performances are designed so that an adequate wing stiffness is guaranteed, in order to prevent excessive deformations and undesired airfoil shape variations due to aerodynamic loads. The effect of the pressure distributions, calculated by way of the XFOIL software, and of the actuators loads, is estimated by FE analyses of the loaded wing. Two prototypes are then realised incorporating the variable airfoil and the hingeless aileron features respectively, and the verification of their shapes in both the actuated and non-actuated states, supported by image analysis techniques, confirms that interesting results are achievable with the proposed lay out and design considerations.

In the view of robust design optimization, RAE2822 airfoil was designed to achieve not only the maximum lift-to-drag ratio but also insensitivity of that. While the RAE2822 is flying at the cruise speed, Mach variation is considered as the operational uncertainty. In order to explore the design space, metamodels were introduced instead of consecutively computing the gradient. Also a metamodel was used to represent the sigma space. Using the metamodel, an optimum value was searched in the view of global optimization.

This study presents a numerical optimization to optimize an axial flow fan blade to increase the efficiency. The radial basis neural network is used as an optimization method with the numerical analysis by Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using SST model as turbulence closure. Four design variables related to airfoil maximum camber, maximum camber location, leading edge radius and trailing edge radius, respectively, are selected, and efficiency is considered as objective function which is to be maximized. Thirty designs are evaluated to get the objective function values of each design used to train the neural network. Optimum shape shows the efficiency increased by 1.0%.

세로 정안정성이 우수한 지면효과익기 익형을 최적설계하였다. NURBS 형상함수를 사용하여 형상을 설계하고 Navier-Stokes 해석을 통해 공력특성을 해석하였으며, 반응표면법을 사용하여 최적화하였다. 수치계산 효율성을 증대하고 상용 설계/해석 코드 기반의 자동화된 최적화를 위하여 네트워크 분산환경을 구현한 설계최적화 프레임워크를 사용하였다. 양력 최대화 설계 결과로서 기존의 DHMTU 익형과 유사한 안정성 특성을 가지며 양력특성이 개선된 익형을 얻었으며, 강화된 전방하중 특성과 후방의 반전된 캠버선이 특징적으로 나타났다. 이수 중의 피칭모멘트 변화폭이 감소된 익형도 설계하였으며, 전방하중 경향이 약화되고 양력도 약간 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 포텐셜 유동에 기반한 설계최적화 결과와 비교함으로써 실용적이며 실제로 구현 가능한 공력특성의 개선을 위해서는 반드시 점성을 고려해서 설계를 해야하며 다양한 익형을 생성시킬 수 있는 형상설계 기능의 중요성을 확인하였다.

In this study, the reliability-based design optimization of the airfoil was performed. PARSEC function was used to consider the uncertainty of the aerodynamic shape for the reliability-based shape optimization of airfoils. Among various reliability analysis methods, the moment method was used to compute the probability of failure of the aerodynamic performance. The accuracy of the reliability analysis was compared with other methods and it was found that the moment method predicts the probability of failure accurately. Deterministic and reliability-based optimizations were performed for the shape of the airfoil and it was demonstrated that reliability-based optimum assures the aerodynamic performances under uncertainties of the shape of the airfoil.

In the present paper, three types of the flow solvers were used to investigate the influence on the airfoil shape optimization. The adopted equations, i.e., Euler, thin layer Navier-Stokes and full Navier-Stokes ones. are solved using implicit LU-ADI decomposition scheme. The gradient projection method with the sinusoidal function was used as an optimization algorithm. The present numerical method was applied to the drag minimization problems under the initial shape of NACA0012 airfoils.
