Abstract: An optimization toolset (OT) was recently developed to help facilitate computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-aided design processes. The basic workflow of the OT is: sweep a parameter space with a Design of Experiments (DOE), run CFD simulations at DOE points, create Response Surface Model (RSM) to act as a surrogate for the full CFD model, and optimize the surrogate model.
