Abstract

En 中文
Traditional engine cycle innovation is limited by human experiences, imagination, and currently available engine component performance expectations. Thus, the engine cycle innovation process is quite slow for the past 90 years. In this work, we propose a mixed variable multi-objective evolutionary optimization method for automatic engine cycle design. In the first, a simulation toolkit is developed for performance evaluation of potentially viable engine cycle solutions. Then, the engine cycle solutions are mixed encoded by the pins and the parameters of different engine components. The new engine cycle solutions are generated through the mutation operator. Finally, we construct two optimization objectives to drive the optimization process. Through the experimental research, new engine cycle solutions are discovered that exceed the performance of known turbojet and turbofan engines.
