In this paper, an efficient and robust analysis system for the flutter optimization of laminated composite wings has been developed using the coupled computational method based on the genetic algorithm. General three-dimensional doublet-lattice method is efficiently used to compute generalized aerodynamic forces of T-tail configuration in the frequency domain. Structural dynamic analyses of laminated composite T-tail models are conducted using finite clement method. The classical P-k flutter analysis technique is applied to effectively solve the aeroelastic governing equations in the frequency domain. Optimum design studies using genetic algorithm have been conducted in order to obtain maximum flutter stability of a composite T-tail configuration. The results show that flutter stability can be significantly increased using composite materials with proper optimum design concepts even for the same weight and shape condition. In the view point of engineering design, it is also importantly shown that the optimization of the vertical wing part is highly effective comparing to the optimization of horizontal wing part.

This present work is to find optimum design of a NACA65 axial fan blade with weighted average surrogate model. The numerical analysis by Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress turbulence(SST) is discretized by finite volume approximations and solved on hexahedral grids for flow analysis. The blade aerodynamic shape is modified by six design variables for the optimization. The blade profile as well as stacking line is modified to enhance blade total efficiency. Six design variables, airfoil maximum camber, maximum camber location, leading edge radius, trailing edge radius, lean angle at 50% span and lean angle at 100% span, are selected for blade profile to enhance the total efficiency. The PBA model which is basically weighted average of the basis surrogates is used to find the optimal design in the design space from the constructed response surface model for the objective function. By the optimization, the total efficiency is increased by 1.4%.

A recent study for tracing the profiles of supersonic axisymmetric Minimum Length Nozzle with uniform and parallel flow at the exit section, the stagnation temperature is taken into account. The aim of this work is to add optimization algorithm to the supersonic nozzle design in order to get the optimum nozzle shape. The comparisons of the nozzle contours based on the method of characteristics are presented. The specific heats and their ratio vary with the stagnation temperature when this temperature of a perfect gas increases. An application is made for air in a supersonic nozzle.

본 연구에서는 풍력 터빈 블레이드의 다분야 통합 최적 설계를 위하여, 진동하는 비정상 공력하중에 의한 작동 수명을 고려한 최적화 과정을 수행하였다. 최적화 대상으로는 NREL의 1.5MW 급 풍력터빈을 baseline 으로 하였고, NREL의 FAST 프로그램을 이용하여 발전기의 정격 출력 및 블레이드에 작용하는 비정상 공력 하중 특성을 분석하였다. 최적화 수행 시 블레이드 형상의 효율적인 구현을 위해 형상모델링 함수를 이용하여 코드 길이와 트위스트 분포를 모델링하였다. 그리고 상용 MDO Framework 인 Piano를 이용하여 블레이드 루트부의 비정상 공력하중 조건을 완화시키는 최적화 설계를 수행하였다. 정격출력을 유지하면서도 Out of Plain 방향의 하중 조건을 개선하여 보다 긴 작동 수명을 기대할 수 있는 블레이드 형상을 설계하였다.

In the shape design optimization of an airfoil, the shape function has been used to find the optimal airfoil shape for given conditions. The parameters determining the airfoil shape are used in the shape design optimization as design variables. However, they usually don't have physical meaning. The PARSEC (Parametric Shapes) function is a recently proposed shape function and its parameters have the physical meaning. In this study the usefulness of the PARSEC is tested for the RAE2822 airfoil in the transonic flow region to reduce the shock strength and the result is compared with Hicks-Henne function. The optimized airfoils reduce the shock strength and they show similar result.

The performance and noise characteristics of the design parameters of a cross-flow fan are investigated by computational methods. The incompressible Wavier-Stokes equations in moving coordinates are time-accurately solved for obtaining the pressure fluctuations due to the aerodynamic interactions between the impeller blades and the stabilizer, and sound pressure is then computed by the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings equation. Design parameters of the cross-flow fan include blade setting angle, exit-diffusion angle, and stabilizer installation angle. Also, an optimization of the aforementioned design parameters has been peformed using the Taguchi method.

Representing a complex, three-dimensional shape, such as an automobile, requires a large amount of CAD data consisting of millions of approximated discontinuous points, which makes it difficult or even impossible to efficiently optimize the entire shape. For this reason, in this paper, function based design method is proposed to optimize the external shape of an automobile. A vehicle modeling function was defined in the form of a Bernstein polynomial to smoothly express the complex 2D and 3D automobile configurations. The sub-sectional parts of the vehicle modeling function are defined as section functions through classifying each subsection of a box model. It is shown that the use of the vehicle modeling functions has the useful advantages in an aerodynamic shape optimization.

100인승 이하의 쌍발 터보프롭 항공기의 날개 형상에 대한 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 최적설계는 2단계로 이뤄져 있는데 먼저 꼬리날개의 높이에 대한 방향안정성을 분석하였고 방향 안정성을 갖는 높이에 대해 순항조건에 대해 항력을 최소로 하는 날개의 최적형상을 결정하였다. 방향안정성 분석은 Vorstab를 통해 이뤄졌고, 최적형상은 Piano를 활용하여 결정하였으며 공력해석은 점성을 고려한 Fluent 코드를 활용하였다. 최적설계 결과 약 10 count의 항력을 감소하였다.

To design airfoils for novel airplanes, new knowledge of aerodynamics is required. In this study, modified Parametric SECtion (PARSEC) which is a airfoil representation is applied to airfoil design using a multi-objective genetic algorithm to obtain an optimal airfoil for consideration in the development of a Martian airplane. In this study, an airfoil that can obtain a sufficient lift and glide ratio under lower thrust is considered. The objective functions are to maximize maximum lift-to-drag ratio and to maximize the trailing edge thickness. In this way, information on the low Reynolds number airfoil could be extracted efficiently. The optimization results suggest that the airfoil with a sharper thickness at the leading edge and higher camber at the trailing edge is more suitable for a Martian airplane. In addition, several solutions which has thicker trailing edge thickness were found.

In order for a gun-launched guided projectile to glide to the maximum range, when to deploy the fin and start flight with guidance and control should be considered in range optimization process. This study suggests a solution to the optimal guidance problem for flight range maximization of the flight model of a guided projectile in vertical plane considering the aerodynamic properties. After converting the nonlinear Multi-Phase Optimal Control Problem to Two-Point Boundary Value Problem, the optimized guidance command and the best fin deployment timing are calculated by the proposed numerical method. The optimization results of the multiple flight rounds with various initial velocity and launch angle indicate that determining specific launch condition incorporated with the guidance scheme is of importance in terms of mechanical energy consumption.
