Abstract

U ovom projektu, cilj je optimizirati geometriju te parametre leta letećeg krila u režimu krstarenja, pomoću već postojećih algoritama za pronalaženje minimuma multi varijabilne funkcije, koji su dostupni unutar programskog jezika Python. U proces optimizacije spada: matematičko modeliranje geometrije koja će se optimizirati, postavljanje i validacija aerodinamičkog modela pomoću kojeg se računaju aerodinamička svojstva geometrije letećeg krila te postavljanje funkcije cilja koju je potrebno minimizirati, skupa sa pripadajućim ograničenjima. Ukratko će biti objašnjen Python kôd pomoću kojeg se obavlja optimizacija te će biti prikazani rezultati optimizacije na konkretnom primjeru ulaznih varijabli.

Abstract (english)

The objective of this project is to optimize the geometry as well as flight parameters of a flying wing in cruising regime, by means of already existing algorithms for finding the minima of multivariable functions, that are available in the programming language Python. The optimization process includes: mathematical modeling of the geometry that will be subject to optimization, setup and validation of the aerodynamic model that will be used to calculate aerodynamic properties of the flying wing geometry and setup of the objective function that is required to be minimized, together with corresponding constraints. A brief explanation of the Python code used for optimization will be given and results of the optimization for particular entry parameters will be shown.
