Abstract A powerful idea for deterministic global optimization is the use of global feasible search, namely, algorithms that guarantee finding feasible solutions of nonconvex problems or prove that none exists. In this article, a set of conditions for global feasible search algorithms is established. The utility of these conditions is demonstrated on two algorithms that solve special problem classes globally. Also, a new model transformation is shown to convert a generalized polynomial problem into one of the special classes above. A flywheel design example illustrates the approach. A sequel article provides further computational details and design examples.

As computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations still take a lot of time in industry for design optimization analyses, we propose to reduce the number of required CFD simulations considerably using a new meta-algorithm. The algorithm consists of employing kriging in conjunction with simulated annealing (SA) as a design tool. The method enables effective and fast design optimization for complex fluid flow systems. In this paper, it is applied to a convective heat transfer problem in a channel with periodic heat sources with constant heat flux. We show that the geometry optimization of two dimensional thermo-fluids problems in complex geometries is made more effective and faster using kriging-simulated annealing meta-algorithm.
