Optimization Design for Aerodynamic Elements of Indian Locomotive of Passenger Train

摘要

The objective of this paper is to optimize the WAP-5 Indian locomotive with the help of a multi-objective optimization technique so as to steady the plural aerodynamic factors. An evolutionary algorithm along with shape parameterization method, which makes use of B-spline curves and Coons patches and also a computational simulation, which makes use of a message-passing interface that are involved in this multi-objective design optimization method. For determining the efficiency of this technique, we design a train head which has optimized aerodynamic drag and aerodynamic forces in relation to affecting other trains. Reasonable Pareto results were obtained with the help of a 10th generation evolutionary algorithm.
