Predicting bedload sediment transport of non-cohesive material in sewer pipes using evolutionary polynomial regression–multi-objective genetic algorithm strategy

Sediment transport in sewer systems is an important issue of interest to engineering practice. Several models have been developed in the past to predict a threshold velocity or shear stress resulting in self-cleansing flow conditions in a sewer pipe. These models, however, could still be improved. This paper develops three new self-cleansing...

Multidisciplinary design optimization of wing shape with nacelle and pylon

A Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) system for a wing with nacelle and pylon is developed. The present MDO system is based on the integration of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes and NASTRAN based an aeroelastic-structural interface code. The Kriging model is employed to save the computational time of objective function...
