However, the computational cost associated with the use of GA has yet to be discussed. In this study, the parameters of sixteen explicit models for the estimation of friction factor in the turbulent flow regime were optimized using two popular global search methods namely genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA). Based on 1000 interval values of Reynolds number (Re) in the range of and 100 interval values of relative roughness () in the range of , corresponding friction factor (f) data were obtained by solving Colebrook-White equation using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. These data were then used to modify the parameters of the selected explicit models. Although both GA and SA led to either moderate or significant improvements in the accuracies of the existing friction factor models, SA outperforms the GA. Moreover, the SA requires far less computational time than the GA to complete the corresponding optimization process. It can therefore be concluded that SA is a better global optimizer than GA in the process of finding an improved explicit friction factor model as an alternative to the implicit Colebrook-White equation in the turbulent flow regime.展开更多

The inverse matrix needs complex computation and restricts its application in engineering. Combining the integration character of one-phase regressive filter with the iterative formula of inverse matrix,an STMV iterative algorithm is proposed. The computational cost of the iterative algorithm is reduced approximately to be 2/M times of the original one when there are M sensors,and is more advantaged for the realization of the algorithm in real time. Simulation results show that the STMV iterative algorithm can preserve the characters of STMV on high azimuth resolution and weak target detection while the computational cost reduced sharply. The analysis on sea trial data proves that the proposed algorithm can estimate each target's azimuth even when the source powers differ in large scales or their bearings are very approximate.展开更多

However, the high computational cost of IBC becomes the most critical issue in delay tolerant mobile sensor network （DTMSN） because of the limited processing power. In this paper, an efficient identify-based signature scheme with batch authentication （ISBA） is proposed for DTMSN. ISBA designs an online/offline signature with batch authentication to reduce the computational cost, and improves data delivery mechanism to increase the number of messages for each batch authentication. Simulation results show that ISBA not only realizes a lower computational cost than existed schemes, but also does not induce negative impact on the delivery performance.展开更多
