An in-house solver has been employed, along with mesh movement methodologies to capture the dynamics of flow around the airfoil. An efficient framework for implementing the coupled solver and optimization in a multicore environment has been implemented for the generation of optimized solutions—maximizing thrust performance & computational speed. %K Steepest Descent %K CFD %K Flapping Wing Airfoil %K Thrust Performance %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=133435
