Particle Swarm Optimization을 이용한 터보팬 엔진 다목표 성능 최적화 연구

A turbo fan engine performance analysis program combined with a particle swarm optimization(PSO) has been developed to optimize the major design parameters of the combat aircraft gas turbine engine. The optimized parameters includes bypass ratio, fan pressure ratio, high pressure compression ratio and burner exit temperature. The objective parameters have been determined using a multi-objective function consisting of the net thrust and specific fuel consumption along a weight function. The basic model for the combat aircraft gas turbine engine has been selected as the F404 turbofan engine which is widely used in the combat aircraft, F-18 and Korean high level training aircraft, T-50. The optimal conditions of four parameters have been obtained for various design conditions.
