Optimization of a function through genetic algorithm

AIM: The aim of this project is to write a MATLAB program to optimize the stalagmite function and find the GLOBAL MAXIMA of the function. STALAGMITE FUNCTION: Stalagmite function is as shown in the figure it is just like any other function. Here we are using the stalagmite function as a function that needs to be optimized to show how we can use MATLAB’s in-built function GA to optimize the stalagmite function. Continue reading

Creating your own OpenFOAM solver

AIM: The aim of this project is to create a custom solver in OpenFOAM that solves a transport equation for a scalar named s. This project also aims to understand the structure of the OpenFOAM files and organisation that will help to make any changes required to make a new solver OBJECTIVES: The solver will be modified from icoFoam which is present in $FOAM/applications/solvers/incompressible/icoFoam. The case should be a scalar quantity ’s’ that is being transported by velocity u and the transport equation is represented by $$ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot (u s) = 0 $$ The case will be modified from Continue reading
