Use of a genetic agorithm to solve two-fluid flow problems on an NCUBE multiprocessor computer

  • 1. Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States)

Description

A method of solving the two-phases fluid flow equations using a genetic algorithm on a NCUBE multiprocessor computer is presented. The topics discussed are the two-phase flow equations, the genetic representation of the unkowns, the fitness function, the genetic operators, and the implementation of the algorithm on the NCUBE computer. The efficiency of the implementation is investigated using a pipe blowdown problem. Effects of varying the genetic parameters and the number of processors are presented. (orig.)
