Abstract

The advent of high performance computing has led to an increased role of CFD in automated optimal design, particularly in aeronautics. This paper presents a brief description of the optimization problem, strategies for its solution, algorithms for optimization, references to recent applications, impact of high performance computing and parallelization, and two examples of application to the design of high speed inlets.
