چکیده
This paper presents aerodynamic shape optimization of a supersonic wing for supersonic civil transportation (SST) using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) coupled with an Euler/Navier-Stokes code. To overcome enormous computational time necessary for the design, aerodynamic evaluations are parallelized on Numerical Wind Tunnel (NWT) at National Aerospace Laboratory, a parallel vector machine with 166 processing elements. Parallelization of function evaluations in EA is straightforward and its performance is extremely good since most of computational time is used by flow computations. The design result indicates that the present EA successfully minimizes both the induced drag and the volume wave drag in the given design space.
