Hi, OpenFoam make life easy
 

Hi,

OpenFoam make life easy with OOP style programming, my answer is that is it possible to automate sensitivity analysis and optimization process in OpenFoam.

e.g. we define PDE and its bc and then OpenFoam generate its adjoint PDE and its related bc then calculate its gradient and finally exploit optimization loop.

I think that, it seems possible with linking the kernel with AD (Automatic Diffrentiation) tool(discrete sensitivity), do anybody such work or is this in plane of OF developer?

I think there is something here:
