Fig. 5.8 Surface geometry <strong>of</strong> the original test case <strong>and</strong> the optimum <strong>of</strong> FD <strong>and</strong> AD for<br />

(a) Hicks-Henne <strong>and</strong> (b) cosine functions parameterization<br />

the pressure distribution, which is due to the fact that cosine functions only<br />

have local impacts on the surface deformation whereas Hicks-Henne functions<br />

have global impacts.
