Optimization in Computational Fluid Dynamics
Optimization boundary value problems in CFD are one of the most challenging problems in the field of numerical PDEs. Even the forward problem alone is very difficult and nourishes a large community of numerical mathematicians. Optimization problems in CFD are highly nonlinear and after discretization lead to a large scale finite constrained optimization problem with special structures that have to be exploited.
The speakers in this minisymposium will emphasize several important issues: the impact of optimization in CFD applications, structure exploiting optimization methods that incorporate state of the art approaches both from the optimization and discretization fields, and questions of their optimal combination to minimize the complexity of the solution approach.
