11 DESIGN-SPACE PARAMETERIZATION Abbott and von Doenhoff give the NACA0012 equation as: y N (x) = ± ( x x x x x 4) Note: Blunt Trailing Edge. Nadarajah suggests changing the coefficient of the x 4 term such that a sharp trailing-edge is recovered at x = 1. The resulting analytic equation defining the NACA0012-ADO airfoil shape is: y A (x) = ± ( x x x x x 4) Note: Sharp Trailing Edge. Vassberg & Jameson, VKI Lecture-III, Brussels, 9 April,

17 CUBIC B-SPLINES Third-order B-Splines of 33 control points define each surface. The xcpt coordinates are preset by a cosine distribution. xcpt 0 = 0, xcpt n = 1 2 [ 1 cos ( )] n 1 31 π, 1 n 32. Since the leading- and trailing-edge points are pinned, the first and last control points have ycpt 0 = 0, and ycpt 32 = ± 1 2 TE Base. Curvature continuity at the LE requires ycpt u 1 = ycptl 1. The remaining ycpt coordinates of each B-Spline are defined with a least-squares fit of their corresponding grid points. Vassberg & Jameson, VKI Lecture-III, Brussels, 9 April,

31 NACA0012-ADO MODEL PROBLEM The objective of this optimization is to mimimize the drag of a symmetric airfoil, for an inviscid transonic flow at the condition of M = 0.85, and α = 0, subject to the geometric constraint: y Optimum (x) y Baseline (x) ; 0 x 1. Note that the flow physics of this model problem is such that the only true source of drag is that associated with any shocks that may arise. Vassberg crafted this with anticipation that a shock-free design at these flow conditions and under these geometric constraints is unachievable.

69 ADO-CRM-WING MODEL PROBLEM The model problem for our third test case is based on the NASA Common Research Model (CRM) developed by Vassberg. Wing extracted and transformed by Osusky. The objective is to minimize the drag of the ADO-CRM-Wing at the flow condition of M = 0.85 and Re = , considering a fully-turbulent flow, and subject to the following constraints. C L = 0.50 [0.55, 0.45] C M 0.17 V olume V olume initial where, V olume refers to the internal volume of the wing. Vassberg & Jameson, VKI Lecture-III, Brussels, 9 April,

Note: These reference quantities are different than those of the CRM configuration, in that they have been scaled down by Cref. Also, the wing has been shifted inward to place the side-of-body station at the symmetry plane. Hence, Sref is further reduced. Vassberg & Jameson, VKI Lecture-III, Brussels, 9 April,
