Continuum Sensitivity Analysis for Shape Optimization in Incompressible Flow Problems
An important part of an aerodynamic design process is optimizing designs to maximize quantities such as lift and the lift-to-drag ratio, in a process known as shape optimization. It is the goal of this thesis to develop and apply understanding of mixed finite element method and sensitivity analysis...
