Computation of CAD-based design velocities for aerodynamic design optimisation with adjoint CFD data

This thesis describes the investigation and development of a novel CAD-based aerodynamic optimisation system, with the aim of allowing gradient-based optimisation of feature-based, parametric models within commercial CAD packages in timescales acceptable for industrial design processes. The process...
