Multidisciplinary optimization of a catamaran's hydrofoil design with dynamic response surface and distributive processing

Abstract

This paper presents a rational approach to the design of a catamaran's hydrofoil applied within a modern context of multidisciplinary optimization. The approach used includes the use of response surfaces represented by neural networks and a distributed programming environment that increases the optimization speed. A rational approach to the problem simplifies the complex optimization model; when combined with the distributed dynamic training used for the response surfaces, this model increases the efficiency of the process. The results achieved using this approach have justified this publication.

Experimental optimization of hydrodynamic performance of catamarans using hydrofoil element

“…In addition, in this research, the speed of the vessel was optimized using the change in the size and position of the hydrofoil. 15 In 2010, Gelles et al evaluated the hydrodynamic parameters of the hydrofoil vessels experimentally. In this research, the effects of the position, the level of immersion and the angle of hydrofoil on trim, rise and drag of the catamaran vessel were determined.…”

A new partition model for the optimization of subsea cluster manifolds based on the new definition of layout cost

“…Recently, more and more researchers have been focusing on the optimization of production systems by some quantized models. 10–16 De Souza et al 17 proposed a framework for the analysis of continuous deepwater gas lift systems using an optimization algorithm. Park et al 18 applied a fuzzy nonlinear programming approach to optimize the allocation of the single- or multi-objective gas production system for a reduction in capital and operating expenditures (CAPEX & OPEX), where a hybrid genetic algorithm was used in manifold system.…”
