Writing U and p fields in adjointOptimisationFoam

bennn · July 17, 2020, 10:08

Hi all,

I just started playing around with adjointOptimisationFoam, great tool !

I'm wondering if there is a way to store the flow fields from the primal solvers, namely U and p. For now, when running a steadyOptimisation run, the only fields I get are the adjoint sensitivities, da and ma.

Thanks for your help.

Ok my bad, storing the primal solver solution is easily controlled through controlDict writeInterval, unlike sensitivities solutions writes which are controlled in optimisationDict - which makes complete sense.

Thanks again for the great tool, looking great. We are in the process of comparing a XFoil optimization with adjointOptimisationFoam approach.
