A perspective of mathematical simulation and optimization techniques in computer aided design

The central issue discussed in this paper is how a designer may profit from the use of mathematical simulation and optimization techniques. These techniques can be useful tools to support the designer in solving his design problem. The place and the potential of these techniques in the design process, as well as their use by the designer, are...

A system for computer aided analysis and design of multi-element airfoils

A program system has been developed as a tool for interactive analysis and design of multi-element airfoils in incompressible viscous flow. A global description of the system is given. It involves the application of three computational methods, one for the analysis of viscous flow and one for the analysis of inviscid flow around multi-element...
