Adjoint-Based Sensitivity Formulation for Fully Coupled Unsteady Aeroelasticity Problems (2009, background): “Adjoint equations have become very popular in solving aerodynamic shape optimization problems, particularly for steady-state conditions [1–8].”
Optimization and Computational Fluid Dynamics (2008, background): “Improvements of the discrete approach concerning the handling of grid sensitivities can be found in [49, 50] where remeshing and mesh movement strategies used at each optimization cycle are discussed.”
Robust airfoil optimization to achieve consistent drag reduction over a mach range (2001, background): “Equally impressive progress has been made in optimization of 3-D wings [6, 7, 17] and in coupled structuralaerodynamic optimization [9].”
An implicit, exact dual adjoint solution method for turbulent flows on unstructured grids (2004, methodology): “This requirement is in contrast to the solution algorithm outlined in [5], in which the complete linearization of the second-order residual 1⁄2oR2=oQ T was used as a preconditioner.”
