Hi everyone!
I was trying to simulate the boundary layer suction problem (on 2D airfoil) and I am getting good results. I modeled the suction boundary as pressure outflow (Figure attached) and was getting drag reduction with boundary layer suction. Now I am trying to optimize the location and length of suction boundary to find minimum drag. I thought of doing a Design of Experiment (DoE) analysis and plot the Response Surfaces. But, I have 4-5 independent variable (Re, AoA, location, length, suction pressure) which may lead to a lot of cases. Can anybody tell me how to solve this optimization problem? Can UDFs solve the problem? Is it common to link Fluent with other optimization solvers? ![]() Thanks in advance. |

![]() I don't think you can do optimization using UDFs. Also I rarely see Fluent coupled with other optimization solvers. Its too tough job. Hope this helps! ![]() |
