Adjoint sensitivity analysis for time - dependent partial differential equations with adaptive mesh refinement q
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new adjoint sensitivity analysis approach is presented for time-dependent partial differential equations with adaptive mesh refinement. The new approach, called ADDA, combines the best features of both the adjoint of the discretization (AD) and discretization of the adjoint (DA) approaches. It removes the obstacles of applying AD to adaptive methods and, in contrast to DA, requires for its use only a minimal amount of knowledge about the formulation of adjoint PDEs and their boundary conditions. The effectiveness and efficiency of ADDA are demonstrated for several numerical examples. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Space-time adaptive solution of inverse problems with the discrete adjoint method
Adaptivity in both space and time has become the norm for solving problems modeled by partial differential equations. The size of the discretized problem makes uniformly refined grids computationally prohibitive. Adaptive refinement of meshes and time steps allows to capture the phenomena of interest while keeping the cost of a simulation tractable on the current hardware. Many fields in scienc...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Moving Mesh Method with Static Rezoning for Partial Differential Equations
Adaptive mesh methods are valuable tools in improving the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical solution of evolutionary systems of partial differential equations. If the mesh moves to track fronts and large gradients in the solution, then larger time steps can be taken than if it were to remain stationary. We derive explicit differential equations for moving the mesh so that the time variat...
متن کاملEfficient Moving Mesh Methods for Q-Tensor Models of Nematic Liquid Crystals
This paper describes a robust and efficient numerical scheme for solving the system of six coupled partial differential equations which arises when using Q-tensor theory to model the behaviour of a nematic liquid crystal cell under the influence of an applied electric field. The key novel feature is the use of a full moving mesh partial differential equation (MMPDE) approach to generate an adap...
متن کاملSolution Adapted Mesh Refinement and Sensitivity Analysis for Parabolic Partial Differential Equation Systems
We have developed a structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR) method for parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems. Solutions are calculated using the finite-difference or finite-volume method in space and backward differentiation formula (BDF) integration in time. The combination of SAMR in space and BDF in time is designed for problems where the fine-scale profile of sharp fronts...
متن کاملComparison of Adaptive Multiresolution and Adaptive Mesh Refinement Applied to Simulations of the Compressible Euler Equations
We present a detailed comparison between two adaptive numerical approaches to solve partial differential equations, adaptive multiresolution (MR) and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR). Both discretizations are based on finite volumes in space with second order shock-capturing and explicit time integration either with or without local time stepping. The two methods are benchmarked for the compressi...
