Abstract:

One of the key research challenges for supersonic civil aircraft is reducing sonic boom intensity and improving cruise aerodynamic efficiency. In current sonic boom/aerodynamic multidisciplinary optimization studies, there are the issues such as low optimization efficiency in high-fidelity optimization and neglect of large-scale configuration parameters. A high-efficiencyand high-fidelity multidisciplinary optimization method for supersonic civil aircraft is proposed. A self-developed far-field sonic boom propagation program based on the nonlinear Burgers equation, “BoomProp”, is integrated with the near-field flow prediction method using CFD to establish a high-fidelity ground-level sonic boom intensity prediction process. The efficient global constrained multi-objective optimization algorithm based on the Constrained Expected Hypervolume Improvement Matrix (CEHVIM) criterion is adopted and is coupled with the optimal Latin hypercube design method for high-dimensional irregular design spaces, automated layout parameterization, mesh generation, and high-fidelity sonic boom/aerodynamic performance prediction methods, to build a high-efficiencyand high-fidelity multidisciplinary optimization platform for supersonic civil aircraft. Using this platform, multidisciplinary optimization for sonic boom and aerodynamics of wing configurations is conducted, yielding significant improvements in both sonic boom and drag performance. Additionally, a comparison with the NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm based on the Kriging surrogate model comprehensively validates the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.
