Adjoint-based optimization of U-bend channel flow using a multi-fidelity eddy viscosity turbulence model
Many fluid flows in engineering are turbulent and require the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for design purposes. Optimization with CFD has largely been limited to low-fidelity simulation methods, such as Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS), due to current computational capabilities. …
