Numerical optimisation with fluids
Description
Numerical optimisation is a major area of development in CFD with proven benefits. Widespread application is limited by the considerable computational cost, as well as the lack of integration of parametrisation, surrogate models and gradient-based methods. The consortium comprises over 20 members from the major UK research groups, as well as commercial code developers and industrial end users.

Optimisation test cases
The optimisation interest group is currently assembling test cases for dissemination and training. These are planned to include:
1) Optimisation of a Joukowsky section at low Re
2) A series of cases selected from the list given here
If you would like to suggest additional cases, please contact Jens or Tom.
