Dynamic Surrogate Model-Driven Multi-Objective Shape Optimization for Photovoltaic-Powered Underwater Vehicle

Le résumé fourni par la source

In this study, a multi-objective shape optimization framework was established for photovoltaic-powered underwater vehicles (PUVs) to systematically investigate multidisciplinary coupled design methodologies. Specifically, a global sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify four critical design parameters with 24 h energy consumption and cabin volume serving as dual optimization objectives. An integrated automated optimization workflow was constructed by incorporating parametric modeling, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and dynamic surrogate models. Additionally, a new phased hybrid adaptive lower confidence bound (PHA-LCB) infill criterion was designed under the consideration of error-driven mechanisms, improvement feedback loops, and iterative attenuation factors to develop high-precision dynamic surrogate models. Coupled with the NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm, this framework generated Pareto-optimal front solutions possessing significant engineering value. Furthermore, an optimal design configuration was ultimately determined through multi-criteria decision analysis. Compared to the initial form, it generates an additional 1148.12 Wh of electrical energy within 24 h, with an 22.36% increase in sailing range and a 2.77% improvement in cabin volume capacity. The proposed closed-loop “modeling–simulation–optimization” framework realized multi-objective optimization of PUV shape parameters, providing methodological paradigms and technical foundations for the engineering design of next-generation autonomous underwater vehicles.
