  • Abstract

A solution remapping technique is applied to transonic airfoil optimization design to provide a fast flow steady state convergence of intermediate shapes for the finite volume schemes in solving the compressible Euler equations. Specifically, once the flow solution for the current shape is obtained, the flow state for the next shape is initialized by remapping the current solution with consideration of mesh deformation. Based on this strategy, the formula of deploying the initial value for the next shape is theoretically derived under the assumption of small mesh deformation. Numerical experiments show that the present technique of initial value deployment can attractively accelerate flow convergence of intermediate shapes and reduce computational time up to 70% in the optimization process.
