Application of Dynamic Space Reduction Method Based on Partial Correlation Analysis in Hull Optimization
Hull optimization design based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a highly computationally intensive complex engineering problem. Because of reasons such as many variables, spatially complex design performance, and huge computational workload, hull optimization efficiency is low. To improve the efficiency of hull optimization, a dynamic space reduction method based on a partial correlation analysis is proposed in this study. The proposed method dynamically uses hull-form optimization data to analyze and reduce the range of values for relevant design variables and, thus, considerably improves the optimization efficiency. This method is used to optimize the wave-making resistance of an S60 hull, and its feasibility is verified through comparison.
