A Continuous Adjoint Approach to Shape Op- timization for Navier Stokes Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an approach to shape optimization which is based on continuous adjoint computations. If the exact discrete adjoint equation is used, the resulting formula yields the exact discrete reduced gradient. We first introduce the adjoint-based shape derivative computation in a Banach space setting. This method is then applied to the instationary NavierStokes equations. Finally, we give some numerical results. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 76D55; Secondary 49K20.

In this paper, the continuous adjointmethod to compute shape sensitivities in aerodynamic designwith turbulence modeling is described and developed. The focus is on compressible flows described by the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations and the classical Spalart–Allmaras model for turbulence. Turbulence modeling usually requires, in particular, computation of the distance to the surface. ...

متن کاملOptimal Control of Unsteady Flows Using a Discrete and a Continuous Adjoint Approach
While active flow control is an established method for controlling flow separation on vehicles and airfoils, the design of the actuation is often done by trial and error. In this paper, the development of a discrete and a continuous adjoint flow solver for the optimal control of unsteady turbulent flows governed by the incompressible Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations is presented. Both a...

The airflow in the modeled glottal constriction was simulated by the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flow, and the corresponding Reynolds equations for turbulent flow in generalized, nonorthogonal coordinates using a numerical method. A two-dimensional model of laryngeal flow is considered and aerodynamic properties are calculated for both laminar and turbulent steady flows...
