A Coarse Grained Variable-Complexity Approach to MDO for HSCT Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
A parallel variable-complexity modeling approach, permitting the eecient use of emerging parallel computing in multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) technology, is presented for the particular instance of High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) design. Simple analyses are used to limit the approximation domain in the design space. Points are selected within the approximation domain by a genetic algorithm based on the D-optimality criterion. At the selected points, a reened analysis is performed. The optimization code is composed of a sequence of analysis cycles between aerodynamic and structural calculations. A coarse grained parallelization of the aerodynamic code is presented.

This paper presents a new approach for flotation circuit design. Initially, it was proven numerically and analytically that in order to achieve the highest recovery in different circuit configurations, the best equipment must be placed at the beginning stage of the flotation circuits. The size of the entering particles and the types of streams including pulp and froth were considered as the bas...
متن کاملAn experimental study on hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flow in coarse-grained porous media
The equations of fluids in porous media are very useful in designing the rockfill and diversion dams, gabions, breakwaters and ground water reserves. Researches have been showed that the Forchheimer equation is not sufficient for the analysis of hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flows; because, in these flows, in addition to the hydraulic gradient and velocity, the variable of radius is...
