Aerodynamics for MDO of an Innovative Configuration

Abstract

A numerical methodology for the evaluation of aerodynamic loads acting on a complex lifting configuration is presented. The work is limited to the case of attached high-Reynolds number flows. A viscous/potential interaction technique is utilized to take into account the effects of the viscosity. For the potential-flow analysis, a boundary element formulation is used; for simplicity, only incompressible flows are examined. The theoretical basis of the present methodology is briefly described. Comparisons with available, numerical and experimental results are included.
