MS117 - Engineering Design Optimization with the Open-source Software SU2
Keywords: Adjoint methods, Engineering design under uncertainties;, Multidisciplinary design optimization;, Open-source project;
Abstract
SU2 is an open-source software for the analysis of (coupled) partial differential equations (PDEs) and (multi-objective) PDE-constrained optimization problems on unstructured meshes with state-of-the-art numerical methods. The availability of a shared code base facilitates the collaboration of engineers and scientist on a global level and grants access to industry-standard analysis tools. Thus, SU2 fosters a rapid dissemination of advances in numerical methods for (coupled) simulations, and (shape) design optimization (in multiphysics context) for the online community of users and developers.
This mini-symposium invites presentations from engineers and researchers who develop methods within SU2 or use SU2 for their engineering design optimization problems. Topics include, but are not limited to:
1. (Coupled) adjoint methods and algorithmic differentiation.
2. Multidisciplinary design optimization methods and applications.
3. Surrogate-based design optimization methods.
4. Engineering design under uncertainties.
