The paradigm of field inversion applied to a wall bounded jet using PIV measurements as reference data

To this date, simulating the dynamics of a fluid remain extremely expensive for most practical design prob- lems. The large range of length and time scales to be resolved makes it especially computationally heavy. In engineering applications, the standard is still the RANS approach for CFD modelling. Most commonly the so- called two-equation...

Adjoint-Based Inverse Design of Axial Compressor Airfoils: Development & Evaluation of a New Design Method

Direct design optimisation methods for turbomachinery blades have consistently gained in popularity over time. This has been accomplished by significant advances in optimisation algorithms, and notably the development of adjoint-based gradient computation, which provides objective sensitivity information at comparatively low computational cost....
