Optimization Methods for External and Internal Flows Using CFD Adjoint and Mesh Morphing
For Andrea Lopez’s thesis on ‘Optimization Methods for External and Internal Flows Using CFD Adjoint and Mesh Morphing,’ two workflows were developed: ‘Adjoint-sculpting’ and ‘Adjoint-preview.’ Adjoint-sculpting is parameterless, leveraging the adjoint method to identify new shapes, while Adjoint-preview requires user-defined parameters, and adjoint is used to drive optimization and identify the optimum solution. These two […]
