Thus, the optimization of such kind of problems is of high practical importance. Optimization algorithms aim to find the best values for a system’s parameters under various conditions. In this paper an approach for multi-objective optimization of FSI problems is presented. It is based on the Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm (BSA), a new evolutionary algorithm for solving real-valued numerical optimization problems. A partitioned coupling procedure is used for the numerical simulation of the FSI problem and the results of the optimized front obtained using non-dominated BSA algorithm are then presented.}}
