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 and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
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
We validated our Harmonee module by applying it to a coupled aero-structure optimization problem which satisfies three objectives and two constraints shown in Fig.2, according to the flowchart shown in Fig. 1.
