Multilevel Gradient Method with Bezier Parametrisation for AerodynamicShape Optimisation
Abstract
A new multilevel strategy for gradient-based method in aerodynamic optimum shape design is
proposed. This approach acts within the development of efficient algorithms for shape optimisation
problem, in which the governing equations resolution requires a high computational cost.
The proposed algorithm, based on the degree elevation property of Bezier curve for the
parametrisation construction, can be interpreted in two different ways. Indeed, a descent
direction is obtained considering as control variables shape grid-point coordinates as well
as Bezier control points. We intend to investigate the algorithm behaviour for a 2D nozzle
inverse problem and inviscid flows.
