However, the current research mainly focuses on cabin comfort, ignoring the coupling of defogging and comfort. Accordingly, this paper combines cockpit-windshield-defogging design and cockpit comfort considerations, and proposes 108 orthogonal-ventilation design parameters based on the four basic ventilation methods. The effects of different air supply parameters on comfort and anti-fog characteristics are investigated by using fluid dynamics simulation methods. The entropy weight\u2013TOPSIS algorithm is employed to find the optimal ventilation parameters. The results show that the \u201cDown-supply up-return type vertical jet\u201d air supply method corresponding to an air supply velocity of 1 m\/s, an air supply temperature of 297 K, and an air supply relative humidity of 30% has the smallest Euclidean distance di+ from the positive ideal solution, and the largest Euclidean distance di\u2212 from the negative ideal solution; thus, it obtains a higher ci and the highest priority. This air supply method provides the best thermal comfort for the drivers, as well as the best anti-fogging and defogging effect. The results can be useful to provide suggestions for the future design of the air-conditioning systems in polar cruise ships.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24081061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,31]],"date-time":"2022-07-31T23:37:29Z","timestamp":1659310649000},"page":"1061","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Optimization of Cockpit Ventilation for Polar Cruise Ships in Combination with Windscreen Defogging and Cabin Comfort Considerations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2534-1501","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy & Power Engineering, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, 2 Mengxi, Jingkou, Zhenjiang 212003, China"}]},{"given":"Qianwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy & Power Engineering, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, 2 Mengxi, Jingkou, Zhenjiang 212003, China"}]},{"given":"Wenbing","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy & Power Engineering, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, 2 Mengxi, Jingkou, Zhenjiang 212003, China"}]},{"given":"Meinan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy & Power Engineering, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, 2 Mengxi, Jingkou, Zhenjiang 212003, China"}]},{"given":"Jiashuang","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy & Power Engineering, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, 2 Mengxi, Jingkou, Zhenjiang 212003, China"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Aircraft Environment Control and Life Support, MIIT, Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing 210016, China"}]},{"given":"Kaijie","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Aircraft Environment Control and Life Support, MIIT, Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing 210016, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"012065","DOI":"10.1088\/1742-6596\/1986\/1\/012065","article-title":"Simulation and Selection of Fin Stabilizers for Polar Cruise Ships Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics","volume":"1986","author":"Zhao","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
