Abstract In this paper, multi-objective optimization (MOO) of Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) with triangular ribs is performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms (NSGA II). At first, nanofluid flow is solved numerically in various MCHS with triangular ribs using CFD techniques. Finally, the CFD data will...

Abstract In order to solve the problems such as poor diversity and convergence ability of offspring population NSGA-II Algorithm in vehicle production scheduling problem, an improved shop algorithm based on is proposed. The NSGA-ii mainly focuses crossover mutation traditional Algorithm, proposes a new self-adaptive Crossover operator. By comparing individual crowding degree with average popula...

Most contemporary multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) store and handle a population with a linear list, and this may impose high computational complexities on the comparisons of solutions and the fitness assignment processes. This paper presents a data structure for storing the whole population and their dominating information in MOEAs. This structure, called a Dominance Tree (DT), ...

NSGA methodology discussed in Section 3.1 suffers from three weaknesses: computational complexity, non-elitist approach and the need to specify a sharing parameter. An improved version of NSGA known as NSGA-II, which resolved the above problems and uses elitism to create a diverse Pareto-optimal front, has been subsequently presented (Deb et al 2002). The main features of NSGA-II are low comput...

The relevant literature showed that many heuristic techniques have been investigated for constrained portfolio optimization problem but none of these studies presents multi-objective Scatter Search approach. In this work, we present a hybrid multi-objective population-based evolutionary algorithm based on Scatter Search with an external archive to solve the constrained portfolio selection probl...

A multi-objective optimization (MOO) of two-element wing models with morphing flap by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, artificial neural networks (ANN), and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithms (NSGA II), is performed in this paper. At first, the domain is solved numerically in various two-element wing models with morphing flap using CFD techniques and lift (L) and drag ...

Static Var compensator (SVC) is one of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) elements mainly used for reactive power and voltage control in power systems. This paper deals with multi-modal electromechanical oscillations damping in the presence of severe disturbances. These oscillations include local modes, interarea modes and inter-plant modes. To enhance the damping of the oscillations, a co...
