Original abstract

Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs) are recently among the most widely studied methods for their capability to solve expensive real-world optimization problems. However, the development of new methods and benchmarking with other techniques still relies almost exclusively on artificially created problems. In this paper, we use two real-world computational fluid dynamics problems to compare the performance of eleven state-of-the-art single-objective SAEAs. We analyze the performance by investigating the quality and robustness of the obtained solutions and the convergence properties of the selected methods. Our findings suggest that the more recently published methods, as well as the techniques that utilize differential evolution as one of their optimization mechanisms, perform significantly better than the other considered methods.
