MS23
Numerical Methods in Optimal Design and Optimal Control

3:30 PM-5:30 PM
Room: Atlanta 5

Numerical methods play a critical role in optimal design and optimal control of fluid related technology. This symposium will focus on current trends in this field. The speakers will discuss approximation of Newton step for aerodynamic optimization, results on code differentiation techniques in CFD, performance of minimization algorithms applied to peptides and proteins, and aeroelastic shape optimization.

Organizers: S. S. Ravindran and Eyal Arian
NASA Langley Research Center
