Abstract

This chapter describes an efficient aerodynamic design optimization methodology for wings in transonic flow. The approach replaces a computationally expensive high-fidelity computational fluid dynamic model (CFD) in an iterative optimization process with a corrected polynomial approximation model constructed by a cheap low-fidelity CFD model. The output space mapping technique is used to correct the approximation model to yield an accurate predictor of the high-fidelity one. The algorithm is applied to two transonic wing design problems.
