There is no dearth of topics. Broadly speaking CFD and optimization could be coupled in the following 2 ways 1) Optimal flow control. eg: like suse of sction/blowing to delay turbulence/transition etc 2) Optimal shape design, where the shape of the surface is itslef changed towards attaining some objective like minimum drag/maximum lift, uniform flow at the exit etc.
