A benchmark study on the efficiency of unconstrained optimization algorithms in 2D-aerodynamic shape design

Optimization algorithms are used in various engineering applications to identify optimal shapes. In this work, we benchmark several unconstrained optimization algorithms (Nelder–Mead, Quasi-Newton, steepest descent) under variation of gradient estimation schemes (adjoint equations, finite difference...
