Real-coded adaptive range genetic algorithm applied to transonic wing optimization
Real-coded adaptive range genetic algorithm (ARGA) has been applied to a practical three-dimensional shape optimization for aerodynamic design of an aircraft wing. The real-coded ARGA possesses both advantages of the binary-coded ARGA and the floating-point representation to overcome the problems of having a large search space that requires continuous sampling. The results confirm that the real-coded ARGA consistently finds better solutions than the conventional real-coded genetic algorithms do.
