Abstract
An aerodynamic optimization library “Harmonee,” which uses the unstructured CFD code FaSTAR, is develped and its validity and efficiency are examined. A Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) is employed as an aerodynamic optimization method. This tool is aimed to enable the direct evolutionary computing to perform within a practical computational time by utilizing the high speed performance of FaSTAR. In the present project, basic programs are developed and validated using JSS2.

Reasons for using JSS2
Aerodynamic optimization using an evolutionary algorithm requires a number of high-fidelity and large-scaled computations (3D RANS analysis) and needs to use the supercomputer.
Achievements of the Year
For the evolutionary algorithm module of Harmonee, crossover algorithm and constraint treatment by the directed mating algorithm were improved from the viewpoint of accuracy and robustness. Harmonee was applied to a two-objective, two-constrained aerodynamic optimization problem for the NASA Common Research Model (CRM) and it was found that reasonable parato solutions can be obtained.
