Continuous Adjoint-Based Optimization of an Internally Cooled Turbine Blade—Mathematical Development and Application

This paper presents an adjoint-based shape optimization framework and its demonstration in a conjugate heat transfer problem in a turbine blading. The gradient of the objective function is computed based on the continuous adjoint method, which also includes the adjoint to the turbulence model. Diffe...
