Abstract

This study presents an extension of a previous study (On an Exact Step Length in Gradient-Based Aerodynamic Shape Optimization) to viscous transonic flows. In this work, we showed that the same procedure to derive an explicit expression for an exact step length in a gradient-based optimization metho...
