How to modify naca_airfoil_optimization.mph

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I would like to know how/is it possible to define an additional three parameters for optimization:

1. Position of the minor chord
2. Size of the minor chord - with minimum and maximum limits
3. Length of the major chord - with minimum and maximum limits

In addition, is it possible to define multiple minor chords and thus allow optimization for extended laminar flow?

I am interested in optimizing airfoils with zero lift with the outcome being minimal drag at a given Re.
