Airfoil design by an all-at-once method. (English) Zbl 0940.76084

Int. J. Comput. Fluid Dyn. 11, No. 1-2, 3-25 (1998).
Summary: The all-at-once approach is implemented to solve an optimum airfoil design problem. The airfoil design problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem in which flow variables and design variables are viewed as independent, and the coupling steady state Euler equation is included as a constraint, along with geometry and other constraints. In this formulation, the optimizer computes a sequence for points which tend toward feasibility and optimality at the same time (all-at-once). In this paper an existing optimization algorithm is combined with an existing flow code. The problem formulation, its discretization, and the underlying solvers are described. Numerical results indicate that the cost of solving the design problem is approximately six times the cost of solving a single analysis problem.
