Abstract
In this study, an efficient multi-objective optimization strategy is presented to circumvent a time-consuming problem of the optimization, which is combined with the evolutionary algorithm and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The strategy is based on the two approaches; a readjustment of initially designed ranges of parameters and construction of the rapid response model replacing the CFD calculations. The self-organizing map method and the generalized regression neural networks are employed for the readjustment of the design ranges and the response model, respectively. For the multi-objective optimization, the adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm was used. Lastly, present approaches are tested to design the airfoil shapes, which have a better aerodynamic performance than a reference airfoil in terms of a maximum lift coefficient and a lift-to-drag ratio.
