Abstract: A CFD optimization method is developed on the basis of the hydrid genetic algorithm with solving Navier-Stokes equations by distributed parallel computing in LAN (Local-Area Network),which enhances the efficiency of design optimizations.Design example given here show that the optimization method and its software are feasible and provide practical tools for the design aerodynamic configurations.

Key words: genetic algorithm, distributed parallel computing, aerodynamics, design optimization
