winglet design

(OP)
Hi,
For a uni project we're trying to do a detailed design on a wing to reduce the induced drag, we have decided to use winglets to do this but have no idea where to start off for designing this. We were thinking of doing a simplified analysis of the wing and then testing the results with a more detailed cfd simulation.  Does anyone know of any theory we can use to do this?
Thanks,
Kieran
