Bayesian optimization for the spanwise oscillation of a gliding flat plate

Bayesian optimization is a powerful tool in the kinematic design of bio-inspired flight, where expensive high-fidelity numerical simulations are required. However, traditional single acquisition strategy cannot adapt to all problems, which have various input–output characteristics. The hybrid improves robustness by utilizing three types functions, and each function assigned different balance parameters. kinematics gliding flat plate that oscillates along spanwise direction has been optimized enhance power efficiency using method. factor under optimal oscillation 1.97 times as large without oscillation, indicates good capability method for locomotion.
