Summary
This paper describes a shape optimization study of a high-speed train nose, with
multiple aerodynamic properties. The technique is mainly composed of a multiobjective
evolutionary algorithm, a shape parameterization technique, and steady
and unsteady flow simulations using message passing interface. Three aerodynamic
properties are adopted as objective functions: i) aerodynamic drag, ii) pressure
variation around the vehicle, and iii) aerodynamic yawing fluctuation acting on the
last car in a tunnel section. After the evolutionary calculation of 10th generation
with 32 individuals, physically reasonable Pareto solutions are successfully obtained.
