Contents

From [INF-14-56-K-6] Optimization in Fluid Mechanics:
  • State equations in fluid mechanics
  • Reynolds-averaging and turbulence modeling
  • Finite Volume Method
  • Cost functions and constraints in fluid mechanics
  • Shape optimization
  • Optimal active flow control
  • Continuous and discrete adjoint methods
  • One-shot methods

Competencies / intended learning achievements

While questioning specific design and control problems in fluid mechanics, the students derive efficient methods (e.g. adjoint-based and one-shot methods) and learn how to set-up appropriate design chains to solve them.

In tutorials based on the open-source CFD code SU2, the students will get hands on the derived methods for optimization and control in fluid mechanics. The lecture is furthermore valuable for getting introduced to more general lectures on optimization with PDEs. For those students who have heard already lectures on optimization with PDEs, the lecture gives a specific problem and application oriented insight into this class of optimization problems.
