Gust analysis is added to a linearized frequency-domain method in FUN3D, a NASA computational fluid dynamics solver. The method linearizes about a nonlinear static equilibrium condition and is therefore appropriate for problems with small perturbations such as transonic stochastic gust analysis. In addition to the gust analysis, adjoint-based sensitivities of stochastic gust constraints are implemented for multidisciplinary design optimization. The linearized frequency-domain gust model and adjoint-based sensitivities are described and verified. The method is applied to an optimization for mass minimization of the AGARD 445.6 wing subject to a stochastic gust constraint limiting the displacement of the wing tip.
