The continuous adjoint method for transitional flows of compressible fluids is developed and
assessed, for the first time in the literature. The gradient of aerodynamic objective functions …

The contribution is devoted to combined shape-and mesh-update strategies for parameter-
free (CAD-free) shape optimization methods. Three different strategies to translate the shape …

Reducing the resistance of compressible flow around a blunt body is of great interest in
engineering applications, while an efficient shape optimization method for compressible …

Pollen filters play an essential role in protecting people from airborne allergens and
ensuring indoor air quality. Allergic reactions to pollen can lead to discomfort, reduced …

This paper investigates the adequacy of radial basis function (RBF)-based models as
surrogates in uncertainty quantification (UQ) and CFD shape optimization; for the latter …

This paper presents activities carried out in the Parallel CFD & Optimization Unit of NTUA,
regarding the formulation, programming and assessment of an adjoint method that …

In aerodynamic shape optimization, gradient-based algorithms usually rely on the adjoint
method to compute gradients. Working with continuous adjoint offers a clear insight into the …
