Preference incorporation to solve many-objective airfoil design problems

In this paper, we assess the convenience of applying a previously proposed interactive method to solve three aero dynamic airfoil shape optimization problems with 2, 3, and 6 objectives, respectively. The expensive simulations required to evaluate the objective functions makes these problems an excellent example in which the use of interactive methods is very advantageous. First, the search can be focused on the decision maker's region of...
