On an Exact Step Length in Gradient-Based Aerodynamic Shape Optimization—Part II: Viscous Flows

open access: yesFluids, 2021
This study presents an extension of a previous study (On an Exact Step Length in Gradient-Based Aerodynamic Shape Optimization) to viscous transonic flows. In this work, we showed that the same procedure to derive an explicit expression for an exact step

Airfoil Blender for Blade Optimizations

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018
An airfoil database was developed in the present work. The database includes a multivariate, unstructured grid, Radial Basis Function (RBF), optimization-compatible interpolator for airfoil aerodynamic coefficients. The database was designed to aid complex blade design optimizations carried out in a novel optimization framework, HAWTOpt2, being ...

Hierarchical Differentiable Fluid Simulation

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce a two‐step algorithm that significantly reduces memory usage for solving control problems using differentiable fluid simulation techniques: our method first optimizes for bulk forces at reduced resolution, then refines local details over sub‐domains while maintaining differentiability. In trading runtime for memory, it enables optimization

Parametric research and aerodynamic performance analysis of wind turbine airfoil with added flap

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2022
A self-popped up flap is added to the airfoil (S809) suction surface to improve aerodynamic performance under large angle of attack (AOA) inspired by the slightly popped up feathers on the trailing edge of a bird’s wing. The response surface methodology (

Performance of PBF‐Printed Micro‐Channel Bipolar Plates as a Function of Flow‐Field Parameters and Plane Area

open access: yesFuel Cells, Volume 26, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT SUS 316L bipolar plates (BPPs) with rectangular micro‐channels for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were fabricated using powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, and the effects of flow‐field structure parameters (channel width, rib width, and channel depth) on fuel cell performance were analyzed.
