Application of Free Form Deformation Techniques in Evolutionary Design Optimisation

1. Abstract In the past decades evolutionary algorithms have been successfully applied to various design optimisation problems. It has been shown that the representation of the problem is crucial for a high performance of the method. One important aspect is the trade-off between the demands for a high geometric variability in shape generation and a minimum number of optimisation parameters. In ...

Evolutionary Optimisation of an Exhaust Flow Element with Free Form Deformation

Evolutionary algorithms are well established methods for shape and design optimisations and they are applied to a large variety of problems. Especially for the optimisation of aerodynamic properties various publications demonstrate the potential of the method. Two major problems in the application of evolutionary optimisation methods for the improvement of aerodynamic properties are the represe...

Double Shock Control Bump Design Optimisation Using Hybridised Evolutionary Algorithms

The paper investigates the application of two advanced optimisation methods for solving active flow control device shape design problem and compares their optimisation efficiency in terms of computational cost and design quality. The first optimisation method uses Hierarchical Asynchronous Parallel Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (HAPMOEA) and the second uses Hybridized EA with Nash-Game...

Multiobjective evolutionary optimisation for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

In most optimisation experiments, a single parameter is first optimised before a second and then third one are subsequently modified to give the best result. By contrast, we believe that simultaneous multiobjective optimisation is more powerful; therefore, an optimisation of the experimental conditions for the colloidal SERS detection of L-cysteine was carried out. Six aggregating agents and th...
