Robust airfoil optimization based on improved particle swarm optimization method

A robust airfoil optimization platform is constructed based on the modified particle swarm optimization method (i.e., the second-order oscillating particle swarm method), which consists of an efficient optimization algorithm, a precise aerodynamic analysis program, a high accuracy surrogate model, and a classical airfoil parametric method. There are two improvements for the modified particle swarm method compared with the standard particle swarm method. First, the particle velocity is represented by the combination of the particle position and the variation of position, which makes the particle swarm algorithm a second-order precision method with respect to the particle position. Second, for the sake of adding diversity to the swarm and enlarging the parameter searching domain to improve the global convergence performance of the algorithm, an oscillating term is introduced to the update formula of the particle velocity. At last, taking two airfoils as examples, the aerodynamic shapes are optimized on this optimization platform. It is shown from the optimization results that the aerodynamic characteristic of the airfoils is greatly improved in a broad design range.  

Modeling of turbulent,isothermal and cryogenic cavitation under attached conditions

Cavitation is often triggered when the fluid pres- sure is lower than the vapor pressure at a local thermo- dynamic state. The present article reviews recent progress made toward developing modeling and computational strat- egies for cavitation predictions under both isothermal and cryogenic conditions, with an emphasis on the attached cav- ity. The review considers alternative cavitation models along Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and very lager eddy simu- lation turbulence approaches to ensure that the computational tools can handle flows of engineering interests. Observing the substantial uncertainties associated with both modeling and experimental information, surrogate modeling strategies are reviewed to assess the implications and relative impor- tance of the various modeling and materials parameters. The exchange between static and dynamic pressures under the influence of the viscous effects can have a noticeable impact on the effective shape of a solid object, which can impact the cavitation structure. The thermal effect with respect to evaporation and condensation dynamics is examined to shed light on the fluid physics associated with cryogenic cav- itation. The surrogate modeling techniques are highlighted in the context of modeling sensitivity assessment. Keywords  

Robust design of natural laminar flow supercritical airfoil by multi-objective evolution method

A transonic, high Reynolds number natural laminar flow airfoil is designed and studied. The γ-θ transition model is combined with the shear stress transport(SST)k-w turbulence model to predict the transition region for a laminar-turbulent boundary layer. The non-uniform free-form deformation(NFFD) method based on the non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS) basis function is introduced to the airfoil parameterization.The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II(NSGA-II) is used as the search algorithm, and the surrogate model based on the Kriging models is introduced to improve the efficiency of the optimization system. The optimization system is set up based on the above technologies, and the robust design about the uncertainty of the Mach number is carried out for NASA0412 airfoil. The optimized airfoil is analyzed and compared with the original airfoil. The results show that natural laminar flow can be achieved on a supercritical airfoil to improve the aerodynamic characteristic of airfoils.  

Surrogate based optimization of a laidback fan-shaped hole for film-cooling

The present work has been performed to evaluate the effects of geometric variables of a laidback fan-shaped hole on the film-cooling effectiveness using a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis, and to optimize the shape of the hole using the Kriging meta-modeling technique. The shape of the laidback fan-shaped hole is defined by four geometric design variables, namely, the injection angle of the hole, the lateral expansion angle of the diffuser, the forward expansion angle of the hole, and the ratio of the length to the diameter of the hole. From the results of a parametric study, effects of design variables on the film-cooling effectiveness are evaluated. The objective function, which is defined as the spatially averaged film-cooling effectiveness, is numerically evaluated through a RANS analysis at design points selected through Latin hypercube sampling. The Kriging model is used to approximate these objective function values at the design points, and sequential quadratic programming is used to search for the optimal point from the constructed Kriging model. The optimizations are carried out for two different blowing ratios, 0.5 and 2.5. The film-cooling effectiveness has been successfully improved with the optimization as compared to the reference geometry.
