In this work, we use the newly developed nonlinear and linear Schur complement solvers, appropriate for multidisciplinary models based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to solve these saddle-point problems. When compared to conventional optimizations, the SC solver-based optimization proved to be more cost-effective in the benchmark case we provided.
