A Cognitive-Heuristic Framework for Optimization of Spaceplane-System Configurations

摘要

A cognitive-heuristic framework for interconnecting analytical aerothermodynamics and mass-modeling parameters to heuristic optimizer is proposed. It evaluates a complex highly-integrated forebody-inlet configuration and representative hypersonic spaceplane based on minimal input data of flight altitude and Mach number only. SHWAMIDOF-FI design tool is used which incorporates salient features of multi-stage cognitive work approach integrated to heuristic optimization. Results show substantial improvement in geometric, performance, and flow parameters as compared to baseline configuration.
