G711 An Optimization Technique of Aerodynamic Control Performance of the Plasma Actuator for a Two-Dimensional Bluff Body

Abstract

Development of the optimization system for aerodynamics control using plasma actuator has been conducted. The system which uses the Efficient Global Optimization method was designed to explore the optimum value with a small number of sampling. By using the current optimization system, the drag minimization for bluff body using plasma actuator, with multiple design variables, was successfully carried out. This indicates the optimization method developed in this study is evaluated as effective and can reduce a numerous number of sampling during wind-tunnel experiment.
