Airfoil design by the method of singularities via parametric optimization of a geometrically constrained least squares object function

The present report describes a method for the design of airfoils in incompressible flow which, subject to geometrical constraints generate approximately a given distribution of the pressure coefficient along the projection of the airfoil chord on an axis parallel to the onset flow. The flow is simulated by means of a distribution of...

An hierarchic multi-suppliers computer network of a research laboratory with two settlements

For the aerospace laboratory NLR in the Netherlands the considerations are discussed that formed the basis of along-term plan to realize an optimal computer network. In the optimization process up to now the laboratory switched from a situation in which in each of both settlements one central close shop computer centre was available to a...

Conception de réseau iBGP

BGP is used today by all Autonomous Systems (AS) in the Internet. Inside each AS, iBGP sessions distribute the external routes among the routers. In large ASs, relying on a fullmesh of iBGP sessions between routers is not scalable, so route-reflection is commonly used. The scalability of route-reflection compared to an iBGP full-mesh comes at...
