Abstract: The shape optimization of a supersonic aircraft needs a composite model combining a 3D CFD high-fidelity model and a simplified boom propagation model. The management of this complexity is studied in an optimization loop, with exact discrete adjoints od 3D flow and mesh deformation system. The introduction of a mesh adaptation algorithm is also considered.

Keywords: Optimization, Shape Design, Parameterization, Automatic Differentiation, Anisotropic Mesh Adaptation, Sonic Boom
