Abstract

When carrying out design searches, traditional variable screening techniques can find it extremely difficult to distinguish between important and unimportant variables. This is particularly true when only a small number of simulations is combined with a parameterization which results in a large number of variables of seemingly equal importance. Here the authors present a variable reduction technique which employs proper orthogonal decomposition to filter out undesirable or badly performing geometries from an optimization process. Unlike traditional screening techniques, the presented method operates at the geometric level instead of the variable level. The filtering process uses the designs which result from a geometry parameterization instead of the variables which control the parameterization. The method is shown to perform well in the optimization of a two dimensional airfoil for the minimization of drag to lift ratio, producing designs better than those resulting from traditional kriging based surrogate model optimization and with a significant reduction in surrogate tuning cost
