Shape optimization in cfd

Hi! I am currently working on a project which involves optimising the geometry of HVAC automobile distribution in order to get minimum pressure drop. I am thinking of using the adjoint flow solver in star ccm+. Though I am a bit stuck in figuring out the optimisation algorithm. Can anyone please put forward some suggestions?
Thank you!

Thank you!

Have you tried SU2 (su2.stanford.edu)?
