Pressure controus for the initial flow used in the optimization and the unstructured mesh used for its calculation. The free stream Mach number is 2. Note the position of the shock wave which, due to the shortened length of the body, is nowhere near the positions of the shock wave for the target flow. (Flow solution obtained using the GASP code of the Aerosoft Corp.)
