A Hierarchical approach for shape optimisation

1 SINUS - Numerical Simulation for the Engineering Sciences

We consider the gradient method applied to the optimal control of a system for which each simulation is expensive. A method for increasing the number of uknowns, and relying on multilevel ideas is tested for the academic problem os shape optimization of a nozzle in a subsonic or transonic Euler flow.
