Design and aerodynamic analysis of an airfoil with a bioinspired leading edge device for stall mitigation at low Reynolds number operation
… edge device on the aerodynamic performance of a cambered airfoil (S1223). The alula relative angle of attack, measured from the mean chord of the airfoil, is varied to modulate tip-vortex strength, while the alula deflection is varied to modulate the distance of the tip vortex to the wing …

Shape optimization of cambered airfoils using a genetic algorithm and a multipoint inverse method
This thesis presents a process to optimize a cambered airfoil with the MATLAB genetic algorithm (GA) and a multipoint inverse method called PROFOIL. XFOIL was used to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of each airfoil. Data processing techniques and a custom penalty function were developed in …

Design, Simulation, and Wind Tunnel Verication of a Morphing Airfoil
… to design and characterize an MFC-actuated airfoil. A composite airfoil is designed with embedded MFCs in a bimorph configuration. The deflection capabilities under actuation are predicted with the commercial finite element package NX Nastran. Placement of the piezoelectric actuator is …
