Abstract

This paper describes an inverse method for airfoil design. The method employs control theory to make successive perturbations to a given airfoil such that a desired pressure distribution is obtained. The flow is modeled via both the full potential and the Euler equations. Several test cases are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method for aerodynamic design.
