Developers Guide

This guide is intended to be used by developers of ADflow. Higher level descriptions of the code itself can be found here.

Adjoint

• Adjoint overview
  • Derivative seed manipulation
  • Python interface for derivatives

Differentiation

• Differentiation overview
  • Automatic Differentiation (AD)
  • Manual Differentiation

Extra Stuff

• Triangles of zipper mesh live only in the root processor.

• surfaceIntegration.F90: Takes care of forces and flow-through integrations. User-defined surfaces can only be used for flow-through integrations

• We only assemble the full Jacobian for preconditioner. The adjoint is matrix-free. In the future we need a matrix-free preconditioner to avoid memory limitations.

• Overset interpolation is in the wOversetGeneric subroutine, located in src/utils/haloExchange.F90.
