Local Continuum Sensitivity Method for Shape Design Derivatives Using Spatial Gradient Reconstruction

Novel aircraft configurations tend to be sized by physical phenomena that are largely neglected during conventional fixed wing aircraft design. High-fidelity fluid-structure interaction that accurately models geometric nonlinerity during a transient aeroelastic gust response is critical for sizing...
