Flow control and optimization is at once an old and a new subject of mathematical and
engineering interest. It has fascinated many great minds, among them those of Newton and …

This article presents computationally efficient methods for the solution of dynamic constraint
optimization problems arising in the context of spatially distributed processes governed by …

We demonstrate the use of the 'Direct-Adjoint-Loo** method'for the identification of
optimal buoyancy-driven ventilation flows governed by Boussinesq equations. We use the …

Optimal shape design of aerodynamic configurations is a challenging problem due to the
nonlinear effects of complex flow features such as shock waves, boundary layers, and …

We consider the problem of optimally controlling turbulent buoyancy-driven flows in the built
environment, focusing on a model test case of displacement ventilation with a time-varying …

This paper studies the application of the continuous sensitivity equation method (CSEM) for
