Optimisation of reaction mechanisms for aviation fuels using a multi-objective genetic algorithm

Abstract

In this study a multi-objective genetic algorithm approach is developed for determining new reaction rate parameters for the combustion of kerosene/air mixtures. The multi-objective structure of the genetic algorithm employed allows for the incorporation of both perfectly stirred reactor and laminar premixed flame data into the inversion process, thus producing more efficient reaction mechanisms. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
