This paper proposes an enhanced whale optimization algorithm with adaptive mutation operator (amWOA). In amWOA, the adaptive mutation operator is designed to balance the global search and local search abilities. The population sequencing strategy is added to the mutation operator to help the algorithm jump out of the local optimum. The numerical results of three test functions show that the amWOA has better performance. The amWOA is adopted for parameter estimation of the heavy oil thermal cracking model. The simulation results show that the amWOA has the smallest modeling error.
