Abstract

An efficient inverse design method based on the direct surface transpiration concept has been presented. The results indicate its rapid convergence — after about 30 design iterations the target pressure is accurately matched. These are only 3 times more multigrid iterations than required for an analysis run. The method is also robust in the case of ill-posed pressure distribution. The design process of course does not converge, but the prescribed pressure is matched as close as physically possible. As an advantage, because the design part is separated from the flow solver, the present method can easily be implemented into a standard CFD code.
