Design of transonic airfoils with given pressure, subject to geometric constraints

An engineering method for the design of airfoils having a prescribed pressure distribution in subsonic or transonic flow is described. The method is based on an iterative, "residual-correction" type of procedure. In each iteration step, the difference between the current and a target pressure distributions (residual) is determined by means of a...

Inverse method with geometric constraints for transonic airfoil design

An engineering method for the design of airfoils having a prescribed pressure distribution in subsonic or transonic flow is described. The method is based on an iterative procedure of "residual-correction" type. In each iteration step, the difference between a current and a target pressure distribution (residual) is determined by a fast (multi...
