The EC-sponsored FlowHead project on adjoint-design optimisation for CFD organises a

Workshop on industrial design optimisation for fluid flow, in Varna, BG, 22-24 Sep 2010

Topics are:

* Recent developments, novel approaches, future applications in adjoint-based optimisation,

* Industrial application of adjoint-based optimisation in the automotive industry, but also aeronautical, turbomachinery, etc.

* Application examples, benchmarks, industrial requirements ...

* Alternative approaches in goal-based optimisation

Invited speakers are:

* Prof. N. Gauger (Humboldt University, Berlin): Towards an Adaptive One-Shot Approach for Aerodynamic Shape Optimisation

* Prof. K. Giannakoglou (NTUA Athens): Computation of second-order derivatives in aerodynamic optimisation

* Prof. Ch. Hirsch (Numeca, Brussels): Quantification and propagation of uncertainties in CFD and their impact on robust design

* Prof. R. Loehner (George Mason Univ., Washington): Unsteady adjoints in CFD

* Prof. U. Naumann (RWTH Aachen): Automating the generation of first- and higher-order adjoints
