A Continuous Adjoint Approach to Shape Optimization for Navier Stokes Flow

In this paper we present an approach to shape optimization which is based on continuous adjoint computations. If the exact discrete adjoint equation is used, the resulting formula yields the exact discrete reduced gradient. We first introduce the adjoint-based shape derivative computation in a Banach space setting. This method is then applied to the instationary Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, we give some numerical results.
