A discrete Navier-Stokes adjoint method for aerodynamic optimisation of Blended Wing-Body configurations
An aerodynamic shape optimisation capability based on a discrete adjoint solver for Navier-Stokes flows is developed and applied to a Blended Wing-Body future transport aircraft. The optimisation is gradient-based and employs either directly a Sequential Quadratic Programming optimiser or a variable...
