Abstract

It is necessary to extract energy at maximum efficiency for generate a high power at same input energy. So, it needs to require selecting a best efficient and aerodynamically suitable shape of airfoil, which gives maximum lift to drag coefficient ratio. In this paper, B-spline curve use for representation of airfoil and Genetic Algorithm is employed for aerodynamic optimization of airfoil shape. Optimization is did on NACA 4412 airfoil selected as base of optimization process and select a control points of B-spline as variable in optimization process. After did optimization by GA, objective function is raised by 6.7%.
