Optimal Design of Natural and Hybrid Laminar Flow Control on Wings

Methods for optimal design of different means of control aredeveloped in this thesis. The main purpose is to maintain thelaminar flow on wings at a chord Reynolds number beyond what isusually transitional or turbulent. Linear stability analysis isused to compute the exponential amplification of infi...
