title = "Optimization of hydrofoils using a genetic algorithm",
abstract = "In this paper, we employ a genetic algorithm (GA) for shape optimization of hydrofoils for application in a sailing craft. The hydrofoil for a sailing craft should have high lift at lower speeds and low drag at higher speeds. Computations are performed for a hydrofoil in deep water as well as one close to the free surface. The commercially available software FLUENT is used for calculation of the flow field. It is shown that the combined GA optimization technique is capable of accurately and efficiently finding globally optimal hydrofoils.",
