But I found that the results from continuous adjoint don't agree with the results from finite diferences. I am sure my flow solver has fully converged. Here are my complete configuration file, convergence history of RANS flow solver and adjoint solver, and the comparison between adjoint and finite differences (Yet I have calculated the gradients with respect to only four design variables by finite differences). The step for both cases is 0.001. Could anyone give me some suggestion about that? Thank you sincerely! convergence history of RANS and Adjoint.png opt_crm.txt Comparison of gradients from adjoint and finite difference.png Last edited by Haowang; March 26, 2017 at 21:14.
