ON THE CHALLENGES OF SURROGATE-BASED AERODYNAMIC SHAPE OPTIMISATION
J. Rasines¹, D. Verstraete¹; ¹The University of Sydney, Australia
Simulation failures are a critical challenge in surrogate-based aerodynamic shape optimisation. Understanding its effect on algorithm convergence and trends between low- and high- fidelity simulation is essential to inform efficient algorithm design. This works investigates this through evaluation of a low Reynolds number airfoil design problem.
