基于Kriging模型的浮空器氦气昼夜温差最优化

分析浮空器氦气昼夜温差时通常将整个囊体蒙皮涂层设置为同一种材料,分析材料的吸收率与发射率对氦气昼夜温差的影响。为进一步减小氦气昼夜温差,提出了将囊体分为迎光面和背光面,迎光面采用吸收率低的材料,背光面采用发射率高的材料。建立了囊体热力学模型,采用Kriging模型对囊体不同部位的材料特性进行优化,其基本思想是将囊体划分为48个部分,采用拉丁超立方体方法进行抽样,进行热力学分析得到样本的响应,以此建立Kriging近似模型。经过该方法优化后发现,氦气的昼夜温差减小到28.6 K,比传统的分析减少7.7%。

Variable-fidelity optimization with design space reduction

Advanced engineering systems, like aircraft, are defined by tens or even hundreds of design variables. Building an accurate surrogate model for use in such high-dimensional optimization problems is a difficult task owing to the curse of dimensionality. This paper presents a new algorithm to reduce the size of a design space to a smaller region of interest allowing a more accurate surrogate model to be generated. The framework requires a set of models of different physical or numerical fidelities. The low-fidelity (LF) model provides physics-based approximation of the high-fidelity (HF) model at a fraction of the computational cost. It is also instrumental in identifying the small region of interest in the design space that encloses the high-fidelity optimum. A surrogate model is then constructed to match the low-fidelity model to the high-fidelity model in the identified region of interest. The optimization process is managed by an update strategy to prevent convergence to false optima. The algorithm is applied on mathematical problems and a two-dimen-sional aerodynamic shape optimization problem in a variable-fidelity context. Results obtained are in excellent agreement with high-fidelity results, even with lower-fidelity flow solvers, while showing up to 39% time savings.     

Efficient aerodynamic shape optimization using variable-fidelity surrogate models and multilevel computational grids

A variable-fidelity method can remarkably improve the efficiency of a design optimization based on a high-fidelity and expensive numerical simulation, with assistance of lower-fidelity and cheaper simulation（s）. However, most existing works only incorporate ‘‘two\" levels of fidelity,and thus efficiency improvement is very limited. In order to reduce the number of high-fidelity simulations as many as possible, there is a strong need to extend it to three or more fidelities. This article proposes a novel variable-fidelity optimization approach with application to aerodynamic design. Its key ingredient is the theory and algorithm of a Multi-level Hierarchical Kriging（MHK）, which is referred to as a surrogate model that can incorporate simulation data with arbitrary levels of fidelity. The high-fidelity model is defined as a CFD simulation using a fine grid and the lower-fidelity models are defined as the same CFD model but with coarser grids, which are determined through a grid convergence study. First, sampling shapes are selected for each level of fidelity via technique of Design of Experiments（DoE）. Then, CFD simulations are conducted and the output data of varying fidelity is used to build initial MHK models for objective（e.g.C_D） and constraint（e.g. C_L, C_m） functions. Next, new samples are selected through infillsampling criteria and the surrogate models are repetitively updated until a global optimum is found.The proposed method is validated by analytical test cases and applied to aerodynamic shape optimization of a NACA0012 airfoil and an ONERA M6 wing in transonic flows. The results confirm that the proposed method can significantly improve the optimization efficiency and apparently outperforms the existing single-fidelity or two-level-fidelity method.     

基于梯度增强型Kriging模型的气动反设计方法

基于Kriging模型的代理优化算法目前在气动优化设计中得到了广泛应用。但在高维(设计变量大于30个)气动优化中,计算量过大的问题对其进一步发展产生了严重制约。将翼型和机翼气动反设计问题转化为优化问题,采用Adjoint方法进行快速梯度求解,利用基于梯度增强型Kriging(GEK)模型的代理优化算法分别开展了18、36和108个设计变量的气动反设计。首先,通过采用在设计空间局部建立GEK模型的方法成功地将基于代理优化算法的气动反设计问题的维度拓展到了100维以上。其次,研究了梯度计算精度对基于GEK模型的反设计的影响,发现梯度精度越高,反设计的最终效果越好,同时效率相当。最后,通过不同维度的气动反设计算例,比较了改进拟牛顿法(BFGS)、基于GEK模型和Kriging模型的代理气动反设计方法,结果表明基于GEK模型的代理优化算法的效率大幅度高于基于Kriging模型的代理优化算法,并且维度越高,效率优势越明显;同时,基于GEK模型的代理优化算法在优化效果及分析程序调用次数上相比于BFGS方法也略有优势。     

粒子群优化的Kriging近似模型及其在可靠性分析中的应用

将粒子群优化(PSO)算法引入Kriging建模过程,依靠PSO算法的群体搜索能力克服了模式搜索法单点序列搜索方式的局限性以及严重依赖于初猜解的缺点,保证了在任意初始条件下都能获取极大似然意义下的最优相关参数,从而有效确保了Kriging预测结果的最优无偏性.涡轮盘低循环疲劳可靠性分析实例表明,粒子群优化的Kriging(PSO-Kriging)近似模型对危险点周向应变变程的预测精度相对神经网络有数量级上的优势(最大误差由5.94%降低到0.09%),可不牺牲精度地代替有限元程序进行Monte Carlo模拟;同时PSO-Kriging建模与预测的总时间不及一次有限元分析的1/10.由于预测精度高(其最优无偏性由PSO算法保证)且计算开销不大,提出的PSO-Kriging对于实际工程结构的可靠性分析有一定应用价值.
