Summary on Grant Application Form
This research project aims to investigate how multi-level, multi-discipline design methods could be used more efficiently by modern stochastic global optimisers. Key to the proposed approach is the idea of using generational optimisation methods where individual members of each generation are calculated using a variety of different design codes in parallel on networks of computers. This would allow the use of stochastic optimisers which require many hundreds of design evaluations on problems where fully detailed analyses can take significant amounts of computer time to evaluate each design, but where simplified, but less accurate, calculations can be performed more readily.
