Further Information

We propose an efficient and robust progressive-optimization procedure, employing cheap, flexible and easy-to-program multigrid-aided finite-differences for the computation of the sensitivity derivatives. The entire approach is combined with an upwind finite-volume method for the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations on cell-vertex unstructured (triangular) grids, and validated versus the inverse design of an airfoil, under inviscid (subsonic and transonic) and laminar flow conditions. The methodology turns out to be robust and highly efficient, the converged design optimization being obtained in a computational time equal to that required by 11-17 (depending on the application) multigrid flow analyses on the finest grid.
