Shape Optimization Using Genetic Algorithms and Laser Beam Propagation for the Determination of the Diffusion Coefficient in a Hot Turbulent Jet of Air
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 4, 211-221, 2008
Abstract
The paper describes the propagation of a thin laser beam which passes through a hot turbulent jet, perpendicularly to the flow direction, using geometrical optics approximation. From the modelling of the random propagation direction of the laser beam along its whole path, the diffusion coefficient of the turbulent jet is determined by means of a shape optimization technique in which a genetic algorithm is used. The results obtained from the GA are then improved by the Golden Section method.
