title = "Application of genetic algorithm (GA) in reduction of wave drift forces on the four-column structure",
abstract = "The hydrodynamic interactions among multiple floating bodies are expected to be complex and large at certain frequencies of incident waves, which can cause high wave elevations and large wave drift forces. The optimization of the distance between adjacent floating bodies, the draft of floating bodies and the wave-approach angle for the four-column structure at the certain wavenumber is conducted to minimize the wave drift force acting on the whole structure. A real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to realize this control of parameters. The wave interaction theory combining with the higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) are employed to simulate the diffraction problem of the structure. With the final optimized parameters, the wave elevation around the cylinders and the wave drift forces acting on the whole structure can be significantly reduced to small.",
