Problems solved by technology

This method has the following disadvantages: 1) The determination of the target flow field distribution requires the designer to have a deep understanding of the design target and rich design experience, and the design quality depends heavily on the selection of the target aerodynamic characteristics; 2) It is difficult to deal with the aerodynamic , geometric constraints, and performance constraints at non-design points

This method has the following defects: 1) The biggest limitation of the gradient-based optimization method is that it is easy to fall into the local optimum and it is difficult to find the global optimum. To a certain extent, it limits its scope of application and further development; 2) Due to its random search characteristics, heuristic algorithms generally have the characteristics of slow convergence speed, and the optimization process requires thousands of iterations of the calculation model. For engineering optimization problems requiring high precision, combining time-consuming simulation models will make the amount of calculation unacceptable, which is also the biggest obstacle to the application of heuristic algorithms in enginee...
