An Optimal Control Theory Based Algorithm to Solve 2D Aerodynamic Shape Optimisation Problems for Inviscid and Viscous Flows
Abstract
With the capacity of today's computers; one can envisage the resolution of shape optimization problems in aerodynamics. Nevertheless, optimization methods require many evaluations of different aerodynamic configurations, and so are much more expensive than a single analysis. It is therefore mandatory to find methods that evaluate aerodynamic functions and their gradient at the lowest possible computational cost; as well as fast and robust optimization methods.
