Abstract
Underwater vehicles have been recognized as a key strategic asset due to the increasing uncertainty of international situations and national security. For their design and construction, it is necessary to develop preliminary design approaches to determine the volumes and longitudinal locations of the tanks while considering the minimum design requirements. A multi-objective optimization technique was applied for optimization of the volumes and longitudinal locations. A concept desgn procedure was constructed to determine volumes and longitudinal locations of trim and compensation tanks. The feasibility of designed tanks was assessed after verifying in-house code for evaluating the trim-compensation polygon. The design variables, constraints, and objective functions were formulated to define an optimization problem using NSGA-Ⅱ. The feasibility of the constructed approach was reviewed through a comparative study considering different constraints. The applicability of the constructed approach was confirmed by investigating the effect of requested number of trim and compensation tanks.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering provides a forum for engineers and scientists from a wide range of disciplines to present and discuss various phenomena in the utilization and preservation of ocean environment. Without being limited by the traditional categorization, it is encouraged to present advanced technology development and scientific research, as long as they are aimed for more and better human engagement with ocean environment. Topics include, but not limited to: marine hydrodynamics; structural mechanics; marine propulsion system; design methodology & practice; production technology; system dynamics & control; marine equipment technology; materials science; underwater acoustics; ocean remote sensing; and information technology related to ship and marine systems; ocean energy systems; marine environmental engineering; maritime safety engineering; polar & arctic engineering; coastal & port engineering; subsea engineering; and specialized watercraft engineering.
