This work, initiated by Turbomeca (SAFRAN group), focuses on automatic design technics applied to an areo-engine cooling system. Design evaluation is done through a CFD solver coupled with optimization methods. The choice of the optimization algorithms, shape parametrization, automatic mesh deformation and generation are discussed.
