Abstract

This study proposeda novel exact expression for step length (size) in gradient-based aerodynamic shape optimization for an airfoil in steady inviscid transonic flows. The airfoil surfaces were parameterized using Bezier curves. The Bezier curve control points were considered as design variables and...
