Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Aircraft Wing Planform Based on Evolutionary Algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the evolutionary approach for aircraft design optimization. Several niching and elitist models are first applied to Multiple-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs). Numerical results suggest that the combination of the fitness sharing and the best-N selection leads to the best performance. The resulting MOGA is then applied to multidisciplinary design optimization problems of transonic and supersonic wing planform shapes. The results confirm the feasibility of the present approach.

Niching and Elitist Models for MOGAs
This paper examines several niching and elitist models applied to Multiple-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs). Test cases consider a simple problem as well as multidisciplinary design optimization of wing planform shape. Numerical results suggest that the combination of the fitness sharing and the best-N selection leads to the best performance.
متن کاملWing Planform Optimization via an Adjoint Method
This dissertation focuses on the problem of wing planform optimization for transonic aircraft based on flow simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) combined with an adjoint-gradient based numerical optimization procedure. The adjoint method, traditionally used for wing section design has been extended to cover planform variations and to compute the sensitivities of the structural wei...
متن کاملReliability-Based Multidisciplinary Optimization for Aircraft Wing Design
Aircraft wing design typically involves multiple disciplines such as aerodynamics and structure. Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) has been recently used to deal with the multidisciplinary efforts in wing design. When reliability is considered, MDO for the wing design becomes much more computationally intensive. To improve the efficiency, the strategy of using Sequential Optimization ...
متن کاملRANS-based Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of a Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft
A series of RANS-based aerodynamic shape optimization for an 800-passenger blended-wing-body aircraft is performed. A gradient-based optimization algorithm and a parallel structured multiblock RANS solver with Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model are used. The derivatives are computed using a discrete adjoint method considering both frozen-turbulence and full-turbulence assumptions. A total of 274...
متن کاملAdvancing the State-of-the-art in the Civil Aircraft Design: a Knowledge-based Multidisciplinary Engineering Approach
To design better aircraft and engines, co-operation is of prime importance. In aircraft design Co-operation has many facets, such as the involvement of experts in various disciplines that work together and share their specific knowledge. Often such experts are employed by different companies and are thus geographically dispersed. The early phases in, for instance, aircraft wing design allow muc...
