Abstract

Multi-objective aerodynamic optimization design requires a multi-objective optimization algorithm that has rapid convergence speed and can provide the decision maker with a limited number of non-dominated Pareto solutions according to his or her requirements. To obtain an algorithm meeting such requirements, the CMA-ES is introduced into MOEA/D-DE obtaining MOEA/D-DE+CMA. MOEA/D can approximate different part of Pareto front according to the requirements of the decision maker through altering the weight vector, get evenly spread Pareto solutions without extra management in the algorithm, and perform well even with small population. The improved algorithm adjusts the proportion of CMA-ES and DE used in the next generation: (1) linearly within the evolution process of the algorithm and (2) according to the degree of the scalar improvement of subproblems. The improved algorithm has more rapid convergence speed, and obtains better distributed pareto front, especially when approximating part of the pareto front with respect to user preference. Multiobjective test functions and aerodynamic optimization design of RAE2822 airfoil is tested. The results show that the MOEA/D-DE+CMA outperforms MOEA/D-DE with respect to convergence speed, and gets better Pareto solutions in airfoil optimization case.
