"In addition to shape optimization problems for fluids, this book also explores the numerical simulation of optimization under fluid and structure coupling. Mohammadi (University of Montpellier) and Pironneau (University of Paris) introduce automatic differentiation, approximate gradients, and automatic mesh refinement as tools for optimal shape design, and present results for flow control problems at various Mach and Reynolds numbers that illustrate applications in the aerospace and automobile equipment industries."--
