Aerodynamic design optimization is a key aspect in aircraft design. The further evolution of advanced derivatives requires powerful toolbox. Reinforcement learning (RL) tool but has rarely been utilized the aerodynamic It can potentially obtain results similar to those human designer, by accumulating experience from training. In this work, popular RL method called proximal policy (PPO) proposed...

This paper presents a method of transforming aerodynamic datasets generated in Aerodynamic Preliminary Analysis System (APAS) into parametric equations which may subsequently be used in a multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) environment for analyzing aerospace vehicles. APAS is an analysis code which allows the user to create a simple geometric model of a vehicle and then calculate the a...

Minimizing the aerodynamic drag and the lift of the train coach remains a key issue for high-speed trains. With the development of computing technology and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the engineering field, CFD has been successfully applied to the design process of high-speed trains. However, developing a new streamlined shape for high-speed trains with excellent aerodynamic performan...

An adjoint-based Navier-Stokes design and optimization method for two-dimensional multi-element high-lift configurations is derived and presented. The compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are used as a flow model together with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model to account for high Reynolds number effects. Using a viscous continuous adjoint formulation, the necessary ...

This paper investigates the preliminary wing design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using a two step optimization approach. The first step is a single objective aerodynamic optimization whereas the second step is a coupled dual objective aerodynamic and structural optimization. In the single objective case, airfoil geometry is optimized to get maximum endurance parameter at a 2D level with max...
