AERODYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF AIRPLANE PROPULSION SYSTEM WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF AGILE PROJECT

摘要

Nacelle shape optimization for classical configuration airplane is performed. Optimization procedure is based on numerical calculations of the Reynolds-averaged Navier- Stokes equations. To find the optimum solution surrogate-based Efficient Global Optimization algorithm is used. This whole procedure is considered in the context of the third generation multidisciplinary optimization techniques, developed within AGILE project. During the project, new techniques should be implemented for the novel aircraft configurations, chosen as test cases for application of AGILE technologies. It is shown that the optimization technology meets all requirements and is suitable for using in the AGILE project.
