Heat Transfer optimization
 

Hi every one

I have a question regarding optimization

How can I perform an heat transfer optimization within SU2? like I have an aerodynamic body which has high temperature on its nose because of its high velocity and I want to optimize the shape of the nose in order to reduce the temperature on the nose.

how can I do that? there are two options in the config file for the objective function which seems to have sth with temperature (TOTAL_HEATFLUX, MAXIMUM_HEATFLUX). what are their diffrences ? How can I calculate mu flow simulation heat flux with su2?

thanks alot
