Several analyses were integrated to the design framework and propeller geometry optimizations were conducted. The multi-objective problem consisted of trade-off between the contradicting goals of performance (required electric power at hover) and acoustics (tonal overall sound-pressure-level). Using various hybrid optimization schemes, the Pareto tradeoff fronts were found for 2, 3, and 4 bladed propellers. These propellers are compared to an off-the-shelf propeller blade (Mejzlik 18x6) which is used as a reference. This reference propeller proves to be good de-sign, compared to the optimized results. Still, from the optimized Pareto results, 4 propeller configurations were chosen to be fabricated and tested. These configurations are optimized by their acoustic or performance trade-off. These optimized propellers represent a good compromise, which is better than the reference propeller.","PeriodicalId":309238,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference on Evolutionary and Deterministic Methods for Design, Optimization and Control","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130314632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper overviews the capabilities of adjointOptimisationFoam, an OpenFOAM-based framework for adjoint-assisted, gradient-based optimisation that first appeared publicly in the open-source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM, in v1906. Capabilities of the publicly available software and of the in-house version of it are separately discussed. The publicly available software is structured in a way that allows for an automated shape optimisation loop, including all steps from the solution of the flow equations to the update of the design variables in a single executable, avoiding thus the need for external scripting. The software has already been used in a number of industrial optimisation problems, some of which will briefly be presented herein. Ad-ditionally, adjointOptimisationFoam is currently developed and extended by the Parallel CFD & Optimization Unit of NTUA. Topics of active development include a) the continuous adjoint to unsteady flows, including data compression techniques to reduce the memory footprint, b) stabilisation techniques for the solution of the primal and adjoint equations based on the Re-cursive Bisection Method and the control of the Adjoint Transposed Convection term, c) a suite of tools for topology","PeriodicalId":309238,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference on Evolutionary and Deterministic Methods for Design, Optimization and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129240584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the efficiency of a passive control system, it is needed to tune the parameters of TMD according to the parameters of the structures. For this aim, the use of metaheuristic methods plays an important role in the optimization of TMDs. Metaheuristic algorithms are inspired by a process of a happening or a living creature. Harmony Search (HS) imitates the musical performance process involving the note tuning process of musicians to gain the admiration of audiences. In the algorithm, two types of optimization using global and local searches are used. In global, a new note is generated, while a neighboring value is assigned in local search as the imitation of playing something similar to the known notes. In this process, two algorithm-specific parameters are used. These parameters are called harmony memory considering rate (HMCR) and pitch adjusting rate (PAR). The chosen values of parameters may be effective on the performance of the algorithm. For that reason, adaptive techniques that automatically update the parameter in the iterations are also suggested. In the present study, adaptive HS is presented on optimum design of TMD for structures subjected to earthquake excitations. For the numerical examinations, a real-size structure plan is considered by checking the stroke capacity of TMD during optimization. Also, the optimization is done by using a wide set of earthquake records to find a general solution. According to the results, the adaptive HS is very suitable to find a feasible TMD for structures subjected to earthquake excitations.","PeriodicalId":309238,"journal":{"name":"14th International Conference on Evolutionary and Deterministic Methods for Design, Optimization and Control","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127802890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses the aeroacoustic shape optimization of a 3D aero-engine intake by means of gradient-based optimization assisted by continuous adjoint. A hybrid aeroacoustic model based on the (U)RANS equations and the permeable version of the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic analogy in the frequency domain is used. The flow and adjoint simulations are for compressible fluid flows realized using the in–house GPU–enabled software PUMA. The continuous adjoint formulation includes the differentiation of the Spalart– Allmaras turbulence model. The implementation and differentiation of the 3D FW–H analogy are verified by comparing the results of the FW–H analogy to both analytical solutions and URANS. In order to save computational cost, periodic boundary conditions are used to reduce the solution domain size together with the use of a moving reference frame which leads to steady flow and adjoint runs. The generatrix of the nacelle lips and the throat area are parameterized using NURBS.
