Supersonic wing and wing-body shape optimization using an adjoint formulation

摘要: This paper describes the implementation of optimization techniques based on control theory for wing and wing-body design supersonic configurations. The work represents an extension our earlier research in which is used to devise a procedure that significantly reduces computational cost by employing adjoint equation. In previous studies it was shown could be to~eviseransonic methods airfoils wings shape surrounding body-fitted mesh are both generated analytically, mapping function. method has also been implemented transonic potential flows governed Euler equations using alternative formulation employs numerically grids, so can treat more general Here results presented three-dimensional cases subject
