Optimization of trailing vortex destruction by evolution strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply evolution strategies to optimize the instability growth of several pairs of vortices which model the wake of airplanes in landing configuration. For the case of two pairs, the evolution strategy finds a set of optimal parameters strikingly similar to those found in the linear stability analysis of Crouch (1997). The case of four pairs is also considered and leads to a larger distortion of the tip vortex.

Simulation and control of three-dimensional wakes
We illustrate the problem of wake optimization on two examples. In the first example, the destruction of trailing vortices, we show that stochastic optimization is a flexible tool to identify vortex systems enhancing natural instabilities. In the second example, the problem of drag reduction in a cylinder wake, a priori information on the flow dynamics is highly desirable and we give some preli...
متن کاملEvolution Strategies for Parameter Optimization in Jet Ow Control
We present results from the application of evolution strategies for parameter optimization in direct numerical simulations and vortex models of controlled jet ows. It is shown that evolution strategies are a portable, highly parallel method that can complement our physical intuition in the parameter optimization of such ows.
متن کاملUnsteady Aerodynamics and Trailing-edge Vortex Sheet of An Airfoil
Unsteady flow models of wings and airfoils have been studied to understand the aerodynamic performance of natural flyers and provide improved maneuverability for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). Vortex methods have been extensively applied to reduce the dimensionality of these aerodynamic models, based on the proper estimation of the distribution and evolution of the vortices in the wake. In such ...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Optimization Method for Vortex-Induced Vibration Reducing and Performance Improving in a Large Francis Turbine
In this paper, a new methodology is proposed to reduce the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and improve the performance of the stay vane in a 200-MW Francis turbine. The process can be divided into two parts. Firstly, a diagnosis method for stay vane vibration based on field experiments and a finite element method (FEM) is presented. It is found that the resonance between the Kármán vortex and th...
متن کاملFlow around a Suddenly Accelerated Rotating Plate at Low Reynolds Number
The study explores the evolution of flow field and forces of a low-aspect-ratio flat plate undergoing an accelerated rotating surge motion from rest. The measurements were performed in a water tank at Reynolds numbers of 20,000, based on the chord length and terminal velocity at 75% span. A tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry (Tomographic-PIV) technique was used in order to capture three-dim...
