Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper describes the implementation of optimization techniques based on control theory for wing and wing-body design of supersonic configurations. The work represents an extension of our earlier research in which control theory is used to devise a design procedure that significantly reduces the computational cost by employing an adjoint equation. In previous studies it was shown that control theory could be used to devise transonic design methods for air-foils and wings in which the shape and the surrounding body-fitted mesh are both generated analytically, and the control is the mapping function [5, 6, 8]. The method has also been implemented for both transonic potential flows and transonic flows governed by the Euler equations using an alternative formulation which employs numerically generated grids, so that it can treat more general configurations [16, 9, 17]. Here results are presented for three-dimensional design cases subject to supersonic flows governed by the Euler equation."
