Direct Sensitivity Method

The basic problem is solved

A reference value of the objective function J0 is computed

A flow variable is perturbed at the boundary at the selectedperturbation time

The associated objective function value is computed again

This procedure is repeated for sufficiently many selections of time

This yields the temporal evolution of the sensitivities

Adjoint Sensitivity MethodDerivation of 1D Adjoint Equations

Adjoint variables : φ(x , t) and ψ(x , t)

Multiply the continuity equation by φ(x , t) and the momentumequation by ψ(x , t)

The sum of these two products is then integrated over space and time

Flow control is desired

Variation of the objective function with respect to η and u′ iscalculated

Add these two variations

Assign initial condition for the adjoint problem

Assign boundary values for the adjoint variables

Sensitivity Equations

Sensitivities required for subcritical flow control are given byδJ

δu′(0,t) and δJδη(L,t)

Sensitivities required for supercritical flow control are given byδJ

δu′(0,t) and δJδη(0,t)

To derive expressions for sensitivities in terms of the adjoint variables

Initial condition for the basic problemη(x , 0) = η0(x), u′(x , 0) = u′0(x); δη(x , 0) = 0, δu′(x , 0) = 0

Initial conditions in the adjoint problemφ(x ,T ) = 0 = ψ(x ,T )

Selection of boundary conditions for the adjoint problem is motivatedby the boundary conditions of the basic problem

Expressions are then derived for sensitivities to these boundary values
