The Continuous Adjoint Method For Optimization Problems
Aerodynamics is a discipline filled with optimization problems. Whether it is drag, lift or downforce, an aerodynamicists’ goal is to maximise the potential performance of an object within a set of constraints. To achieve this, the typical approach is to change an input variable and analyse the effect on the output. However, a more efficient […]
How CFD Bridges The Gap Between Car Design And Aerodynamics
The typical range of a fully charged Electric Vehicle (EV) is approximately 100 to 300 miles (161 to 483 kilometres) [1]. To increase this range further whilst minimising the number of charging stops during a journey, manufacturers are exploiting every opportunity to improve efficiency. Whether it is the powertrain, weight or aerodynamics, the more efficient […]
The Benefits Of Open-Source CFD Software
Over the last decade, ‘open-source’ has become a bit of a buzzword that is often used in the marketing of software solutions. Yet, open-source is much more than just a benefit to add to a list of why users should buy a simulation package. Instead, open source represents a significant shift in the philosophy behind […]

What is the Adjoint Method in CFD?
Every industry is trying to find new ways to improve performance, maximise productivity and increase efficiency. To achieve this, engineers, scientists and programmers are tasked with solving optimisation problems. The conventional way to optimise something in engineering is to change an input (typically a geometric parameter) and analyse its effect on the output (what we […]
