The engineering design of a three dimensional submerged hydrofoil operating at very high speeds is obtained leveraging a Differential Evolution (DE) approach. The final goal is to identify the optimal load distribution over the span of a super-cavitating hydrofoil by using a design by optimization approach driven by hydrodynamic analysis of...

We construct a multi-fidelity framework for statistical learning and global optimization that is capable of effectively synthesizing seakeeping predictions having two different levels of modeling fidelity, namely a strip theory and a boundary element method based on potential flow assumption. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that...
