PERFORMANCE STUDY OF A SIMPLIFIED SHAPE OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY FOR BLENDED-WING-BODY UNDERWATER GLIDERS

Shape design optimization for Blended-wing-body Underwater Gliders (BWBUGs) is usually computationally expensive.In our previous work, a simplified shape optimization (SSO) strategy is proposed to alleviate the computational burden, which optimizes some of the Sectional Airfoils (SAs) instead of optimizing the 3-D shape of the BWBUG directly.Test r

This special issue helps to shed new light on a large variety of methods, such as a method to learn from experiments driven by a company itself or a method to extend results from lab experiments to organisational situations.The papers illustrate Furniture how management science is able to articulate theoretical construction and empirical research t
