discreteAdjointOpenFOAM
Description
We develop a discrete adjoint version of OpenFOAM (currently based on OpenFOAM-3.0.x). It can be applied to topology optimization cases, but a wide range of other use-cases can also be tackled due to the flexibility of the discrete adjoint approach. The following features are available:
- Full first order adjoint of the whole OpenFOAM package
- Equidistant or Revolve Checkpointing
- Symbolically differentiated linear solvers
- Parallelization with adjoint-MPI – AMPI
- Tangent Linear and Finite Difference Implementations for verification
The source is available upon request. Please drop us a mail and we'll grant you access to the repository.
