Optimization for Airfoil Design

A significant challenge to the application of evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) for transonic airfoil design is the often excessive number of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations required to ensure convergence. In this study, a multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) framework is introduced, which incorporates designer preferences to provide further guidance in ...

Applying evolutionary optimization on the airfoil design

In this paper, lift and drag coefficients were numerically investigated using NUMECA software in a set of 4-digit NACA airfoils. Two metamodels based on the evolved group method of data handling (GMDH) type neural networks were then obtained for modeling both lift coefficient (CL) and drag coefficient (CD) with respect to the geometrical design parameters. After using such obtained polynomial n...

GA Optimization Design of Multi - Element Airfoil

The CFD analysis and optimization of multi-element airfoils are presented. Window-Embedment technique is used to automatically generate the grids along with the geometry evolving. The CFD code named NSAWET is employed for performance and flow field analysis. The Genetic Algorithms are used in along with gradient methods to get a good compromise of global optimization capability and efficiency. ...
