Aerodynamic shape optimization of a swept natural-laminar-flow wing in the transonic regime is still challenging. The difficulty associated with reliable prediction laminar–turbulence transition and reasonable compromise viscous wave drags. This paper proposes to use efficient global based on surrogate models address this problem. Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes flow solver features automatic via full method, which dual factors are used for Tollmien–Schlichting crossflow instabilities,...

Crossflow instability (CFI) is crucial for triggering boundary-layer flow transition over a transonic natural laminar (NLF) wing, whose leading edge swept reducing wave drag. This paper proposes new parameter called the nondimensionalized crossflow pressure gradient (CFPG) to combine effects of both wing sweep and distribution on crossflow, which enables an alternative interpretation mechanism CFI suppression. At first, self-contained derivation nondimensional form CFPG presented,...
