Abstract: Abstract A framework for aerodynamic shape optimization is presented. It uses a shape parameterization method based upon the Chebyshev polynomials, an unstructured finite-volume formulation for the solution of the Euler equations and a discrete adjoint method for the computation of the sensitivity. The framework is demonstrated on 2D and 3D shape optimization problems for which the drag coefficient must be minimized, the lift coefficient must be kept constant and several geometrical constraints must be satisfied.
