A local parametric optimization method for gasket water holes is proposed to solve the problem that traditional experiential optimization methods for gasket water holes need repeated trials
and are of strong subjectivity and low efficiency. Firstly
a cooling model of water jackets for local parametric gasket water holes is established and verified by experiments. Then
the results such as pressure drop
mass flows of cylinder block and oil cooler
and heat transfer coefficient(HTC)of bridge zones are obtained through solution
and an approximation model between the parameters and radiuses of the gasket water holes is established based on the application of optimal Latin hypercube design and response surface model(RSM). The neighborhood cultivation genetic algorithm(NCGA)is applied for the multi-objective optimization of water hole radiuses based on the approximation model. Results show that the local parametric modeling method is simple and has high reliability
and the approximation model predicts target values very well. The performance is high after optimization
e.g.
the mass flow distribution is reasonable
the pressure drop reduces by 18.8% and the non-uniformity of HTC in bridge zone reduces by 57.7%(from 16.3 to 6.9). It is concluded that the proposed method gets the optimal solution of gasket water holes quickly and avoids the repetition and subjectivity of traditional experiential optimization.
