Roshanian, J. Nasrin Hosseini, S. Date 2006-09-06 Abstract A gradient based method is presented for optimization of an airfoil configuration. The flow is governed by two dimensional, compressible Euler equations. A finite volume code based on unstructured grid is developed to solve the equations. The procedure is carried out for optimizing an airfoil with initial configuration of NACA 0012. The advantage of this technique over the other gradient based methods is its speed of converging.
