This work deals with the application of numerical optimisation to the aerodynamic design of high-lift systems, which is a multi-objective constrained design problem. A description of the design targets and constraints for high-lift wings is given, followed by a detailed analysis of the required properties of the flow calculation for use within optimisation and the suitability of various optimisation algorithms for this type of design problem. Another focus is the validation and application of numerical optimisation to the aerodynamic design of high-lift systems.
