This article focuses on the formulation, validation and application of the continuous adjoint
method for turbulent flows in aero/hydrodynamic optimization. Though discrete adjoint has …

THERE is a long history of the use of adjoint equations in optimal control theory. 1 In uid
dynamics, the fi rst use of adjoint equations for design was by Pironneau, 2 but within the fi …

An efficient gradient-based algorithm for aerodynamic shape optimization is presented. The
algorithm consists of several components, including a novel integrated geometry …

The purpose of this study is to introduce and demonstrate a fully automated process for
