Simulation Results

The trajcetory plan problem of spece reandezvous mission was studied in this paper using nolinear optimization method. The optimization model was built based on the Hills equations. And by analysis property of the design variables, a transform was put forward , which eliminated the equation and nonlinear constraints as well as decreaseing the problem dimensions. The optimization problem was solved using Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) method, and the rendezvous trajectory was designed.The method was validated by simulation results.

Natural Laminar Flow

With the rapid development of high bypass ratio turbofan engine, the proportion of the nacelle drag increases obviously in the total drag of the aircraft with the increase of nacelle surface area. And the frictional resistance is one of the major contributors of drag. Under the same Reynolds number, the friction resistance in turbulent boundary layer is about 10 times larger as that in laminar boundary layer. Therefore, a correctly profiled engine nacelle will delay the transition in the boundary layer and allow laminar flow to extend back, resulting in a substantial drag reduction. In the previous conference paper (9th reference), a 2D nacelle longitudinal profile-line geometry generator, which allows curvature and slope-of-curvature to be continuous was developed and presented. This established an optimization system to minimize nacelle frictional drag. One of the nacelle profile-line is optimized to achieve minimum drag coefficient, and then is stacked with the other original profile-lines to form the 3D isolated nacelle aerodynamic shape. Finally, a total 23% of nacelle outer surface maintains a laminar flow and its frictional drag coefficient is less than initial shape. This paper proposes a new 2D nacelle longitudinal profile-line design method, based on PARSEC parameterization, with can generate the profile-line rapidly and precisely. Conservation Full Potential Equation was used to calculate the aerodynamic distribution and obtain the transition location. Then adaptive simulated annealing genetic algorithm was adapted to search 2D profiles of low drag, which would be applied to narrow down design space in 3D nacelle optimization. Second, 2D profiles were stacked circumferentially, by NURBS surface generator, to form the 3D nacelle aerodynamic shape, and an optimization system was established, in combination with the 3D nacelle generator, γ–Reθ transition model, Kriging surrogate model and adaptive simulated annealing algorithm, for natural laminar flow nacelle design. Finally, a total 34% of nacelle surface maintains a laminar flow and its frictional drag coefficient is less than initial shape. The generated optimized loft was evaluated by CFD to determine if the low drag of this optimized nacelle shape can be maintained under different Mach numbers and angles of attack.
