Conference on adjoint-based design optimisation

Posted By: Jens-Dominik Mueller
Date:Sun, 4 Dec 2011, 10:58 p.m.

Dear Colleague,

we would be pleased to welcome you to this conference on adjoint-based design optimisation. Please pass this message on to your interested colleagues.

With best regards, Jens-Dominik Mueller

First Announcement:

===================

Conference on industrial design optimisation for fluid flow, Munich, 28-29 March 2012.

http://flowhead.sems.qmul.ac.uk/events/conference2012/

Overview

--------

The EC-funded research project FlowHead has developed adjoint-based optimisation methods for shape and topology optimisation of fluid flow with application to the automotive industry. The project and ESI Group are organising a final conference to present

- The state of the art in industrial design optimisation for fluids,

- The results of the FlowHead project,

- Future challenges in development and application of adjoint sensitivity methods.

The focus in FlowHead was on:

- development of continuous and discrete adjoint flow solvers for industrial application,

- CAD-based, morphing-based and node-based parametrisations,

- industrial application of topology optimisation for fluids,

- robust design,

- industrial application and the integration into the product development process.

Invited speakers
