An Evolutonary Parametrization for Aerodyanmic Shape OptimizationHan, Xiaocong 08 December 2011 (has links)
An evolutionary geometry parametrization is established to represent aerodynamic configurations. This geometry parametrization technique is constructed by integrating the classical B-spline formulation with the knot insertion algorithm. It is capable of inserting control points to a given parametrization without modifying its geometry. Taking advantage of this technique, a shape design problem can be solved as a sequence of optimizations from the basic parametrization to more refined parametrizations. Owing to the nature of the B-spline formulation, feasible parametrization refinements are not unique; guidelines based on sensitivity analysis and geometry constraints are developed to assist the automation of the proposed optimization sequence. Test cases involving airfoil optimization and induced drag minimization are solved adopting this method. Its effectiveness is demonstrated through comparisons with optimizations using uniform refined parametrizations.
