Multilevel optimization of turbulent flows by discrete adjoint techniques
The book represents the dissertation of Dipl. Math. Rolf Roth, defended at the Technical University in Darmstadt, Germany in 2012.NEWLINENEWLINE The dissertation has 8 chapters and is devoted to the multilevel optimization of turbulent flows by discrete adjoint techniques. The author presents several models for fluid flows and examines the optimal control of non-Newtonian fluids. He shows the existence of optimal control in the three-dimensional case. A recursive multilevel trust-region algorithm is discussed and developed. Additionally, the author considers approaches to gradient evaluation and constructs a discrete adjoint method for optimization problems described by partial differential equations. The method includes sparsity exploitation, parallelization, and multigrid techniques.NEWLINENEWLINE Some numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the discrete adjoint method. The techniques, based on the gradient evaluation in conjunction with the multilevel optimization, can be applied to many flow control problems.
