Abstract :
The paper presents a method for reducing the cost of computational fluid dynamics optimization by using a neural network to fill-in the design space. The method trains a network to approximate the aero- or hydrodynamic performance of vehicles with the cascade correlation algorithm. This network is coupled with a genetic algorithm to optimize the hydrodynamic performance of the configuration
