Shape-preserving response prediction for engineering design optimization
(2013) Koziel, Slawomir; Leifsson, Leifur; Department of Engineering
Contemporary engineering design relies heavily on computer simulations. The structures and systems considered in many engineering disciplines are far too complex to be described accurately using simple theoretical models; using simulations is often the only way to adequately assess the performance of the design. Unfortunately, high-fidelity simulations are computationally expensive so that their use in an automated design process based on conventional optimization algorithms is often prohibitive. Despite the availability of faster computers and more efficient simulation software: growing demand for improved accuracy and the need to evaluate larger and larger systems effectively diminishes the benefits of this increase in computing power. One of the most promising ways of alleviating these problems are surrogate-based optimization (SBO) techniques which are capable of reducing the number of expensive objective function evaluations in a simulation-driven design process. In SBO, the direct optimization of the expensive model is replaced by iterative updating and re-optimization of its cheap surrogate model. Among proven SBO techniques, the methods exploiting physics-based low-fidelity models are probably the most efficient. This is because the knowledge about the system of interest embedded in the low-fidelity model allows constructing the surrogate model that has good generalization capability at a cost of just a few evaluations of the original model. In this paper, we review one of the most recent techniques of this kind, the so-called shape-preserving response prediction (SPRP). We discuss the formulation of SPRP, its limitations and generalizations, and, most importantly, demonstrate its applications to solve design problems in various engineering areas, including microwave engineering, antenna design, and aerodynamic shape optimization.
Physics-based surrogates for low-cost modeling of microwave structures
(2013) Koziel, Slawomir; Ogurtsov, Stanislav; Leifsson, Leifur; Department of Engineering
High-fidelity electromagnetic (EM) simulation is a very accurate but computationally expensive way of evaluating the performance of microwave structures. In many situations, it has to be done multiple times when conducting various design tasks, such as parametric optimization or statistical analysis. Fast and accurate models, so-called surrogates, are therefore indispensable in contemporary microwave engineering. The most popular way of creating such models is by approximation of sampled EM-simulation data using, for example, low-order polynomials, support vector regression or neural networks. Unfortunately, initial cost of creating such models may be extremely high because of a large number of samples necessary to ensure reasonable accuracy. An alternative approach is to use physics-based models, where the surrogate is created by correcting an auxiliary low-fidelity model, e.g., equivalent circuit. In this paper, we review several modeling techniques exploiting this idea, including some variations of space mapping as well as shape-preserving response prediction. Our considerations are illustrated using examples of typical microwave components such as filters and antennas.
Computational optimization, modelling and simulation : Recent trends and challenges
(2013) Yang, Xin She; Koziel, Slawomir; Leifsson, Leifur; Department of Engineering
Modelling, simulation and optimization form an integrated part of modern design practice in engineering and industry. Tremendous progress has been observed for all three components over the last few decades. However, many challenging issues remain unresolved, and the current trends tend to use nature-inspired algorithms and surrogate-based techniques for modelling and optimization. This 4th workshop on Computational Optimization, Modelling and Simulation (COMS 2013) at ICCS 2013 will further summarize the latest developments of optimization and modelling and their applications in science, engineering and industry. In this review paper, we will analyse the recent trends in modelling and optimization, and their associated challenges. We will discuss important topics for further research, including parameter-tuning, large-scale problems, and the gaps between theory and applications.
Multi-level CFD-based airfoil shape optimization with automated low-fidelity model selection
(2013) Koziel, Slawomir; Leifsson, Leifur; Department of Engineering
Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models are ubiquitous in aerodynamic design. Variable-fidelity optimization algorithms have proven to be computationally efficient and therefore suitable to reduce high CPU-cost related to the design process solely based on accurate CFD models. A convenient way of constructing the variable-fidelity models is by using the high-fidelity solver, but with a varying degree of discretization and reduced number of flow solver iterations. So far, selection of the appropriate parameters has only been guided by the designer experience. In this paper, an automated lowfidelity model selection technique is presented. By defining the problem as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem, suitable grid and flow solver parameters are obtained. Our approach is compared to conventional methods of generating a family of variable-fidelity models. Comparison of the standard and the proposed approaches in the context of aerodynamic design of a transonic airfoil indicates that the automated model generation can yield significant computational savings.
Low-cost EM-simulation-driven multi-objective optimization of antennas
(2014) Bekasiewicz, Adrian; Koziel, Slawomir; Leifsson, Leifur; Department of Engineering
A surrogate-based method for efficient multi-objective antenna optimization is presented. Our technique exploits response surface approximation (RSA) model constructed from sampled low-fidelity antenna model (here, obtained through coarse-discretization EM simulation). The RSA model enables fast determination of the best available trade-offs between conflicting design goals. A low-cost RSA model construction is possible through initial reduction of the design space. Optimization of the RSA model has been carried out using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA). Additional response correction techniques have been subsequently applied to improve selected designs at the high-fidelity EM antenna model level. The refined designs constitute the final Pareto set representation. The proposed approach has been validated using an ultra-wideband (UWB) monocone and a planar Yagi-Uda antenna.
