Optimal sensor placement for underwater threat detection

The optimization framework for optimal sensor placement for underwater threat detection has been developed. It considers single‐period and multiperiod detection models, each of which includes two components: detection algorithm and optimization problem for sensor placement. The detection algorithms for single‐period and multiperiod models are based on likelihood ratio and sequential testing, respectively. For the both models, the optimization problems use the principle of superadditive coverage, which is closely related to energy‐based and information‐based approaches. An algorithm for quasi‐regular sensor placement approximating solutions to the optimization problems has been developed based on corresponding continuous relaxations and a criterion for its applicability has been obtained. Numerical experiments have demonstrated that the algorithm consistently outperforms existing optimization techniques for optimal sensor placement.© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于约束满足的多目标对地观测卫星成像调度

EOS(对地观测卫星)成像调度需要根据用户提出的成像任务需求确定卫星成像序列,是一个复杂的组合优化问题。考虑到成像侧视约束条件,建立EOS成像调度的多目标有向无环约束图模型。在此模型的基础上提出了基于SPEA2(strength pareto evolutionary algorithm 2)的多目标成像调度算法,采用约束控制技术设计遗传算子处理成像约束。经过三个实际的多目标成像调度问题测试,表明该算法可以有效地解决EOS成像调度问题。     

超燃冲压发动机燃烧室构型优化的试验研究

在直连式超燃冲压发动机试验系统上,通过调节超燃冲压发动机燃烧室壁面扩张角和燃料喷注位置,对燃烧室构型优化进行了试验研究。为了提高试验效率,燃烧室形面调节采用正交试验设计方法进行组织,每个形面进行5种喷注位置的试验,每次试验通过文氏管调节3个当量比的燃料流量。利用试验数据构造燃烧室性能关于构型参数的响应面模型,可用于燃烧室构型优化。通过两次渐进优化获得了性能更优的燃烧室构型,并根据试验数据分析了各构型参数对燃烧室性能的影响,结果表明:优化构型燃烧室的推力增益比基准构型增大了10.4%;燃烧室性能受各构型参数的强烈耦合影响。
