Shape optimization of impingement and film cooling holes on a flat plate using a feedforward ANN and GA
Numerical simulations of a three-dimensional model of impingement and film cooling on a flat plate are presented and validated with the available experimental data. Four different turbulence models were utilized for simulation, in which SST had the highest precision, resulting in less than 4% maximum error in temperature estimation. A simplified geometry with periodic boundary conditions is de...

Automatic diierentiation (AD) is a technique for augmenting computer codes to compute derivatives of a subset of their outputs with respect to a subset of their inputs. AD has been shown to provide accurate, but ineecient, sensitivity-enhanced CFD codes for use in aerodynamic shape optimization. To address the ineeciency problem, several special purpose techniques have been suggested. One such ...
