The paper shows how cost-reduction methods can be synergistically combined to enable
high-fidelity hull-form optimization under stochastic conditions. Specifically, a multi-objective …

The paper presents an approach for the robust optimization of a bulk carrier conceptual
design, subject to uncertain operating and environmental conditions. The uncertainties …

The shape of a ship's hull has a significant impact on the resistance and propulsive
performance of the ship, especially for wide ships. In this study, experimental and numerical …

With the development of computer applications in ship design, optimization, as a powerful
approach, has been widely used in the design and analysis process. However, the running …

This paper uses optimization techniques to obtain bow hull form of a 66,000 DWT bulk
carrier in calm water and in waves. Parametric modification functions of SAC and section …

A numerical multi-objective optimization procedure is proposed here to describe the
development and application of a practical hydrodynamic optimization tool, OPTShip-SJTU …

We construct a multi-fidelity framework for statistical learning and global optimization that is
capable of effectively synthesizing seakee** predictions having two different levels of …

Design optimization of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) is a complex and a
computationally expensive exercise that requires the identification of optimal vehicle …

A particle swarm optimization (PSO) solver is developed based on theoretical information
available from the literature. The implementation is validated by utilizing the PSO optimizer …

Global derivative-free deterministic algorithms are particularly suitable for simulation-based
optimization, where often the existence of multiple local optima cannot be excluded a priori …
