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...

AN EFFICIENT OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE BASED ON CUCKOO SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR PRACTICAL DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES

Different kinds of meta-heuristic algorithms have been recently utilized to overcome the complex nature of optimum design of structures. In this paper, an integrated optimization procedure with the objective of minimizing the self-weight of real size structures is simply performed interfacing SAP2000 and MATLAB® softwares in the form of parallel computing. The meta-heuristic algorithm chosen he...
