Fluent adjoint solver; Constant area constraint

HHK · June 4, 2019, 00:43

Hi everyone,

I am studying the shape optimization of NACA 0012 (2D) using fluent adjoint solver. I have already completed the tutorial (2D Cylinder) in the user manual and made a few trial attempts and everything is fine.
Now, I need to do a more practical one and have checked a number of publications. Based on those, I wish to impose the following constraints.
1) Minimize(cd)
2) cl_new>=cl_baseline
3) area_new>=area_baseline

Can somebody tell me how to impose the third constraint?
I have already checked the 'design conditions' tab in adjoint solver options. But I am not sure how to use them to get it done.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Is there somebody who can give me some suggestions on this?
I would really appreciate it

Hello Dear HARIHARAN K,

I also need to create such a design condition for my problem. Were you able to apply this design condition ?
