About Flow is an Initial Training Network (ITN) funded by the European Commission running from November 2012 to October 2016. About Flow develops robust gradient-based optimisation methods using adjoint sensitivities for numerical optimisation of flows:
- robust adjoint solvers with full 2nd Order accuracy and broad range of modelling capability
- seamless integration of adjoint gradients into design chains
- steady-state approaches with robust convergence, application of unsteady adjoints in industrial design.
About Flow is funded by the European Commission - Marie Curie Actions
Recent Events:
11th ASMO UK/ISSMO/NOED2016: International Conference on Numerical Optimisation Methods for Engineering DesignTechnical University Munich, 18-20 July 2016Multi-disciplinary and adjoint-based design optimisation methods are providing powerful and systematic model-based processes for the optimisation of increasingly complex engineering systems, including many important examples in the aerospace and automotive industries. An international conference is being organised jointly by ASMO UK/ISSMO, the EU Marie Curie Initial Training Networks About Flow and Amedeo, and supported by the EC-funded projects IODA and Maddog. |
