In this paper a procedure for the multi-objective optimization of an automotive cooling duct is described. The two objectives considered are the minimization of the pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet of the duct and the maximization of the outlet flow velocity. Since there is no a single optimum to be found, the MOGA-II was used as multi-objective genetic algorithm. The optimization of the duct was obtained employing a parametric model, performing flow analysis with an open source suite and using a multi-objective optimization product. The distributed optimization search exploited the parallelization capabilities of the MOGA-II algorithm which allowed the evaluation of several designs configurations by running concurrent threads of the flow analysis solver. The results obtained are very satisfactory, and the procedure described can be applied to even more complex problems.
