A Mesh-Based Approach for Computational Fluid Dynamics-Free Aerodynamic Optimisation of Complex Geometries Using Area Ruling

A Mesh-Based Approach for Computational Fluid Dynamics-Free Aerodynamic Optimisation of Complex Geometries Using Area Ruling

In this paper, an optimisation procedure is introduced that uses a significantly cheaper, and CFD-free, objective function for aerodynamic optimisation than conventional CFD-driven approaches. Despite the reduced computational cost, we show that this approach can still drive the optimisation scheme...
