Design Optimization of a Multistage Axial Flow Compressor Based on Full-Blade Surface Parameterization and Phased Strategy by Jinxin Cheng, Shengfeng Zhao, Zhaohui Dong, Chengwu Yang

“…The method mainly contains three aspects: full-blade surface parametrization can significantly reduce the number of control variables per blade row and increase the degrees of freedom of the leading edge blade angle compared with the traditional semiblade parametric method; secondly, the artificial bee colony algorithm improved initialization and food source exploration and exploitation mechanism to enhance the global optimization ability and convergence speed, and a distributed optimization system is built on the supercomputing platform based on this method; finally, a phased optimization strategy based on the “synchronous change in multirow blades” is proposed, and expert experience is introduced to achieve a better balance between exploration and exploitation. …”

Midcourse Guidance Law Based on High Target Acquisition Probability Considering Angular Constraint and Line-of-Sight Angle Rate Control by Xiao Liu, Shengjing Tang, Jie Guo, Yuhang Yun, Zhe Chen

“…Then, a new formulation biased proportional navigation (BPN) guidance law with angular constraint and LOS angle rate control has been derived to ensure the tracking ability when attacking the maneuvering target. Numerical simulations demonstrates that, compared with the proportional navigation guidance (PNG) law and the near-optimal spatial midcourse guidance (NSMG) law, BPN guidance law demonstrates satisfactory performances and can meet both the midcourse terminal angular constraint and the LOS angle rate requirement.…”
