Adjoint-Based Mesh Adaptation and Shape Optimization for Simulations with Propulsion
Objectives: Reliable evaluation of mass flow rates through permeable boundaries - Estimate and control discretization error- Consider both computational domain outflow and inflow- Applicable to simulating propulsion-system effects, as well as secondary flow paths - Explore feasibility of handling more general outputs at domain boundaries. Design optimization subject to mass-flow-rate constraints - Improve aerodynamic performance and reduce noise due to sonic boom - Control discretization error in design space to improve confidence in final designs.
