Abstract

In this paper we will describe the optimisation of a two-criteria wing-design problem where calculation of the objective function requires the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. It will be shown that basic concepts of the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2) and the Non dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) work well with Evolution Strategies. Results for the wing design problem are presented for the selection operators of SPEA2 and NSGA-II in combination with three different mutation operators. These results are compared with results found by a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm.
