A new and efficient inverse design method based on the numerical optimization technique has been developed. The 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for obtaining the objective functions and coupled with the optimization procedure to perform the inverse design. The steepest descent and the conjugate gradient method have been applied to find the searching direction. The golden section method was applied to compute the design variable intervals. It has been found that the airfoil and the pump impellers are well converged to their targeting shapes.

In this study, a reverse design of the F-theta lens was proposed for a 2D scanner in remote welding applications. The curvature and distance of the lens were set as variables, and the focal length of the lens was set as the marginal ray height. The ZEMAX commercial software was used to perform a simulation with unlimited iterations for the optimization process. The target value was optimized using the internal Merit function with the weight factors of focal length and spot diameter. The number of lenses was four, and the focal length obtained from the results was 135mm that is slightly less than that of the commercial lens, which is set with a focal length of 185 mm. The calculated spot diameters are $1.3{\mu}m$, $6.2{\mu}m$, and $16.1{\mu}m$ for $0^{\circ}$, $12.5^{\circ}$ and $23^{\circ}$ of incident laser beam, respectively. It is expected that an optimized lens design is possible by performing the reverse design of a lens by the ray tracing method.

The present paper describes the optimum inverse design of 2-D linear cascade airfoil. The pressure coefficient of an airfoil surface is taken as the objective function, and non-orthogonal incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is applied to calculate the pressure coefficient. Both of steepest descent and conjugate gradient method have been used to make the objective function go to zero. The 1st order finite differential method is applied to the searching direction and the golden section method is used to compute the searching distance. As a result of the present work, a good convergence to the target airfoil has been obtained.

본 논문은 역설계 기법을 이용하여 비접촉 방법으로 인체의 발을 3차원으로 복원하고, 발에 관련된 분야에서 필요한 데이터를 추출하는 시스템에서 신발 제작에 필요한 데이터를 지능 기법을 이용하여 분류하는 모듈을 제안한다. 신발의 경우 개개인의 신체조건이 다르고 유행과 개성을 추구하고자 하기 때문에 기존의 생산체계로는 한계가 있다. 측정데이터를 기반으로 하는 맞춤 신발은 기존의 전통적인 수제화 방식과 대량생산 방식의 장점만을 취하여 저렴하고 편리하게 제작된다. 또한 3차원 측정기를 이용하여 측정한 화형 데이터를 적당하게 분류한다면 기성화와 수제화 제작에 필요한 라스트 생성과 개인의 발의 구조 분석에 활용 가능 할 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 획득된 발 데이터를 미리 정해 놓은 그룹으로 결정하기위해 신경망을 사용하여 신발 제작에 필요한 최적의 라스트 데이터를 선택하게 한다.

Aerodynamic shape optimization of two-dimensional airfoils in inviscid compressible flows is performed using a continuous adjoint formulation on unstructured meshes. Accurate evaluation of the gradient is achieved by using a reconstruction scheme based on the Laplacian averaging. A least-square method with extended stencil is used for flow gradient calculations. Proper convergence criterion is studied on Euler and adjoint equations for efficient design. The present method has been applied to RAE2822 and NACA0012 airfoils such that wave drag can be minimized by removing the shock wave. An inverse design is also performed to recover the shock wave on the designed RAE2822 airfoil.

In this study, aerodynamic shape design of airfoils was performed by using RSM(response surface method) and two-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver. Numerical experiment points were determined by D-optimal method and quadratic response surfaces were constructed by using JMP. For the validations of design method, NACA 64621 airfoil was inversely designed to have aerodynamic characteristics of Bell airfoil. The design method was applied to the aerodynamic design of both smart UAV wing airfoil and low Reynolds rotor-blade airfoil for unmanned helicopter. The optimized airfoils showed improved performance with various constraint conditions.

Starting characteristics of the axi-symmetric second throat exhaust diffuser (STED) with zero-secondary flows are numerically investigated. Renolds-Average Navier-Stokes equations with a standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model incorporated with enhanced wall treatment are solved to simulate the diffusing evolutions of the nozzle plume. Minimum (optimum) starting pressure difference of 20$\sim$25% between 1-D theory and the measured data validated from previous results[5] is also applied to predict the range of an effective diffuser expansion ratio (Ad/At) in this system.

In this paper, we verify the optimal topology design for heat conduction problems in steady stated which is obtained numerically using the adjoint design sensitivity analysis(DSA) method. In adjoint variable method(AVM), the already factorized system matrix is utilized to obtain the adjoint solution so that its computation cost is trivial for the sensitivity. For the topology optimization, the design variables are parameterized into normalized bulk material densities. The objective function and constraint are the thermal compliance of the structure and the allowable volume, respectively. For the experimental validation of the optimal topology design, we compare the results with those that have identical volume but designed intuitively using a thermal imaging camera. To manufacture the optimal design, we apply a simple numerical method to convert it into point cloud data and perform CAD modeling using commercial reverse engineering software. Based on the CAD model, we manufacture the optimal topology design by CNC.
