The fields of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and optimal shape design (OSD) have received considerable attention in the recent past, and are of practical importance for many engineering applications. The present book deals with shape optimization problems for fluids, with the equations needed for their understanding (Euler and Navier Stokes), and with the numerical simulation of these problems. Automatic differentiation, approximate gradients, and automatic mesh refinement as the new tools of optimal shape design are introduced, and their implementation into the industrial environments of aerospace and automobile equipment industry explained and illustrated.
This text investigates the mathematical and computational frameworks required to solve complex shape optimization problems within fluid dynamics. Authors B. Mohammadi and O. Pironneau leverage their expertise in numerical mathematics to bridge the gap between theoretical fluid mechanics and practical industrial application. The book provides a rigorous examination of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, establishing a foundation for simulating optimal design scenarios in engineering environments.
