Application of Adaptive Sampling Method in Hull Form Optimization

Abstract

In order to handle the problem of complex and time-consuming simulation calculation in hull form optimization, the approximate model based on adaptive sampling has been widely used. In this paper, a maximum entropy (ME) adaptive sampling method based on uniform design (UD) is developed based on the Kriging approximate model and the leave-one-out (LOO) error method. Compared with the incremental Latin hypercube design (LHD) method, the adaptive sample distribution obtained by the proposed method are more uniform, and the accuracy of the global approximation model is higher. The proposed method is applied to the S60 hull form optimization, and the effectiveness is verified.
