Due to the increasing demand for high-efficiency and low-impact environmental technologies, hydrogen has become a prominent candidate to replace fossil fuels in combustion systems due to its lower emissions. However, as the environmental regulations established by the European Union have become tighter, optimized combustion devices are required in order to meet these requirements. Therefore, this work presents developments in multi-point optimization for laminar hydrogen burners using the Discrete-Adjoint(DA) design framework within SU2. The multi-point optimization is carried out in order to obtain a good balance between minimizing pollutant emissions and thermal efficiency in hydrogen burners. Additionally, robust geometrical constraints will be shown, which allow to obtain optimized designs while preserving mesh quality along the DA-design cycle.
