... for the fully automatic optimization of a micro‐channel heat sink. Classical optimization techniques, like gradient‐based methods are known for their lack of robustness and for their tendency to fall into local optima. Generic and robust search methods, such as genetic algorithms (GAs), offer several...

...Malgorzata Król; Ryszard A. Bialecki Genetic algorithms and boundary elements have been used to find an optimal design of a plastic window frame with air chambers and steel stiffeners. The objective function has been defined as minimum heat loss subject to a constraint of prescribed stiffness...

...Yanhu Guo; Guangbin He; Andrew T. Hsu Proposes the use of genetic algorithms to assist the development of turbulence models. A variable Schmidt number model for scalar mixing in jet‐in‐crossflows was developed through theoretical analyses. A uniform micro genetic algorithm is implemented...

... number of nodes this cannot be fulfilled. Therefore this condition should be replaced by (see equation 4) For solution of the above optimization problem the genetic algorithm is employed. One gene is associated with each node of the graph and it is represented by +1 or –1. The chromosome obtained...
