Abstract

In this paper we address the challenges of adjoint based mesh adaptation in the setting of industrial CFD, characterized by complex geometry and high Reynolds numbers. We use a space-time finite element discretization of the NS equations, and we focus on the challenges of massively [...]

Abstract

In aerodynamic shape optimization, gradient-based algorithms usually rely on the adjoint method to compute gradients. Working with continuous adjoint offers a clear insight into the adjoint equations and their boundary conditions, but discretization schemes significantly affect [...]
