Abstract
A multiobjective genetic algorithm (GA) based on Fonseca-Fleming's
Pareto-based ranking and fitness-sharing techniques has been applied to
aerodynamic shape optimization of cascade airfoil design. Airfoil
performance is evaluated by a Navier-Stokes code. Evaluation of GA
population is parallelized on the Numerical Wind Tunnel, a parallel
vector machine. The present multiobjective design seeks high pressure
rise, high flow turning angle, and low total pressure loss at a low Mach
number. Pareto solutions that perform better than existing control
diffusion airfoils were obtained
