Noise generated by ships is one of the most significant noises in seas, and the propeller has a significant impact on the noise of ships, which reducing it can significantly lower the noise of vessels. In this study, a genetic algorithm was used to optimize the hydro-acoustic and hydrodynamic performance of propellers. The main objectives of this optimization were to reduce the propeller noise and increase its hydrodynamic efficiency. Modifying the propeller geometry is one of the most effective methods for optimizing a propeller performance. One of the numerical methods for calculating propeller noise is the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) Model. A numerical code was developed by authors which solved these equations using the velocity and pressure distribution around the propeller and calculated its noise. To obtain flow quantities and to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of the propeller, a code was developed using a Boundary Element Method, the panel method. The geometry of DTMB 4119 propeller was selected for optimization, where geometric modifications included skew angle, rake angle, pitch to diameter (P/D) distribution, and chord to diameter (c/D) distribution. Finally, the results of geometric optimization were presented as Pareto optimal solutions. The results indicated that the optimum geometries had rake angles between 8.14 and 12.05 degrees and skew angles between 31.52 and 39.74 degrees. It was also observed that the increase in the chord up to a specific limit enhanced the efficiency and reduced the noise of the propeller.

Boundary element method applications with inverse solution are used to apply the indirect analysis for modeling of corrosion problem. Laplace equation has been used to model the electrical potential in the electrolyte surface. In this paper a computer modeling has been developed to visualize the effect of conductivity value in corrosion problem. Genetic algorithm is used to create the conductivity value based on the mechanics of natural selection and genetics. The boundary element method is then calculating the potential value of the whole domain. FORTRAN and MATLAB program have been developed to calculate and visualize the potential distribution in the domain. Two-dimensional example problems are analyzed to demonstrate the application of the proposed boundary element modeling procedure.
