Multiple models of a physical phenomenon are sometimes available with different levels of approximation, the high fidelity model being more demanding in terms of computational time than the coarse approximation. In this context, including information from the lower fidelity model to build a surrogate model is desirable. A new multi-fidelity metamodeling method, based on Radial Basis Function, the co-RBF, is proposed. The new method is compared with the classical co-kriging on two analytical benchmarks and a realistic validation test, namely the design of a miniaturized photoacoustic gas sensor. The co-RBF method brings better results on high dimensional problem and could be considered as an alternative to co-kriging for multi-fidelity metamodeling.
