Abstract Torquigener albomaculosus, also known as the white-spotted pufferfish, is known for creating circular nests in the underwater sand as part of the mating ritual. The nests are built by the males to attract females through the nest’s impressive design and related ability to gather fine sand particles. As the fluid-dynamic processes associated with these unique nests are still almost completely unknown, in the present study, an analysis has been conducted to investigate how the geometric parameters related to the nest design influence the fluid velocity in its center. For this reason, a geometric model of More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The surrogate model technology has a good performance in solving black-box optimization problems, which is widely used in multi-domain engineering optimization problems. The adaptive surrogate model is the mainstream research direction of surrogate model technology, which can realize model fitting and global optimization of engineering problems by infilling criteria. Based on the idea of the adaptive surrogate model, this paper proposes an efficient global optimization algorithm based on the local remodeling method (EGO-LR), which aims at improving the accuracy and optimization efficiency of the model. The proposed algorithm firstly constructs the expectation improvement (EI) function… More >
