The shape optimization approach of the cambered otter board has been performed by the integration of the neural network model and the multi-objective genetic algorithm... the excellent performance of the otter board is expressed by great lift and less drag force... The Bézier curve represented the cambered otter board as a simple structure with five control points... The hydrodynamic characteristics of [the] otter board models were calculated in a two-dimension computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis at an attack angle of 20 [degrees]. 3, record 1, English, - cambered%20otter%20board
