Popis: A methodology grounded in model reduction is presented for accelerating the gradient-based solution of a family of linear or nonlinear constrained optimization problems where the constraints include at least one linear Partial Differential Equation (PDE). A key component of this methodology is the construction, during an offline phase, of a database of pointwise, linear, Projection-based Reduced-Order Models (PROM)s associated with a design parameter space and the linear PDE(s). A parameter sampling procedure based on an appropriate saturation assumption is proposed to maximize the efficiency of such a database of PROMs. A real-time method is also presented for interpolating at any queried but unsampled parameter vector in the design parameter space the relevant sensitivities of a PROM. The practical feasibility, computational advantages, and performance of the proposed methodology are demonstrated for several realistic, nonlinear, aerodynamic shape optimization problems governed by linear aeroelastic constraints.
