Efficient optimization of integrated aerodynamic–structural design

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 1989
AbstractThe introduction of composite materials is having a profound effect on the design process. Because these materials permit the designer to tailor material properties to improve structural, aerodynamic and acoustic performance, they require a more integrated multidisciplinary design process.

Efficient Newton-Krylov Solver for Aerodynamic Computations

AIAA Journal, 1998
An efficient inexact Newton-Krylov algorithm is presented for the computation of steady two-dimensional aerodynamic flows. The algorithm uses the preconditioned, restarted generalized minimal residual method in matrix-free form to solve the linear system arising at each Newton iteration.

Vocal Efficiency and Aerodynamic Aspects in Voice Disorders

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1985
The variation of vocal efficiency for the mean values for normal subjects was investigated in patients with laryngeal disease. The relative contributions of mean flow rate and intrapulmonic pressure to the variation of efficiency were explored to explain aerodynamic aspects in voice disorders.

Energy cost and efficiency of riding aerodynamic bicycles

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1993
Traction resistance (Rt) was determined by towing two cyclists in fully dropped posture on bicycles with an aerodynamic frame with lenticular wheels (AL), an aerodynamic frame with traditional wheels (AT), or a traditional frame with lenticular wheels (TL) in calm air on a flat wooden track at constant speed (8.6-14.6 m.s-1).

Evaluation of traditional and slotted winglets for enhanced aerodynamic efficiency

The Physics of Fluids
Minimizing drag is a critical focus in aviation, significantly influencing energy efficiency and performance. Lift-induced drag accounts for approximately 40% of total drag during cruise flight and 80%–90% during takeoff phase.

Optimizing Aerofoil Design: A Comprehensive Analysis of Aerodynamic Efficiency through CFD Simulations and Wind Tunnel Experiments

Journal of Mines, Metals and Fuels
This study explores the aerodynamic properties of different aerofoil shapes and their performance under varying flow conditions to identify the most efficient design based on lift-to-drag ratio, stall behaviour, and overall aerodynamic efficiency.
