Intuitive Class/Shape Function Parameterization for Airfoils (2014, methodology): “The CST method, proposed by Kulfan [2,25–27], is increasingly used in airfoil optimization.”
Domain-Element Method for Aerodynamic Shape Optimization Applied to a Modern Transport Wing (2009, methodology): “Awide variety of shape control andmorphingmethods have been developed [1–11], but these often do not allow sufficiently free-form design, can produce infeasible shapes, and do not allow the possibility of manual manipulation of the geometry [12,13].”
Universal Parametric Geometry Representation Method (2008, methodology): “The results of the previously reported extensive investigations [9] of the adequacy of the shape function methodology using Bernstein polynomials to represent a wide variety of airfoils showed that a relatively low-order Bernstein polynomial (typically BPO6 to BPO9) matched the airfoils geometries, ”
A Geometric Comparison of Aerofoil Shape Parameterisation Methods (2016, methodology): “This concept of adding a linear combination of simple basis functions to a base shape has also been used in a constructive manner, for instance, Kulfan’s CST[7] method which adds a combination of Bernstein polynomials to a simple, analytical ‘aerofoil class’ shape.”
