High-Fidelity Aerostructural Gradient Computation Techniques with Application to a Realistic Wing Sizing
Aerostructural optimization is a keystone process to concurrently improve aerodynamic performance and reduce the structural mass of an aircraft. However, gradient-based multidisciplinary design optimization is efficient only if the computation of gradients is fast and accurate. To this end, we propose two high-fidelity aerostructural gradient compu...
