Unsteady adjoint computation on dynamic meshes
Participants : Eléonore Gauci, Frédéric Alauzet [correspondant] .
Adjoint formulations for unsteady problems are less common in unsteady methodologies due to the extra complexity inherent in the numerical solution and storage but these methods are a great option in engineering because it takes more into account the cost function we want to minimize. Moreover the engineering applications involve moving elements and this motion must be taken into account by the governing flow equations. We develop a model of unsteady adjoint solver on moving mesh problems. The derivation of the adjoint formulation based on the ALE form of the equations requires consideration of the dynamic meshes. Our model takes into account the DGCL.
