Multi Objective Constrained Optimization and High Lift Device Applications

Kurzfassung

This lecture deals with the application of numerical optimization for aerodynamic design of high-lift systems, which is a multi-objective constraint design problem. The mathematical fundamentals of numerical optimization are outlined for a better comprehension. A description of the design targets and constraints for high-lift wings is given, followed by a detailed analysis of the properties of the flow calculation for the use within optimization and the suitability of optimization algorithms for this type of design problem. This lecture finally deals with practical issues from a long time experience in applying numerical optimization to aerodynamic high-lift design.
