Abstract
We present a novel approach to compute adjoint sensitivities in heat transfer problems involving fluid flows and radiation. The method overcomes the traditional adjoint requirement of an exact Jacobian computation across disciplines, and provides efficient means to compute very accurate gradients for optimal design applications. We implement a one-equation P1 radiation model into the open-source multiphysics suite SU2 and couple it to its incompressible Navier-Stokes solver with energy equation. To demonstrate the proposed methodology, we compute the coupled adjoint-based sensitivities and verify their accuracy using finite differences. We demonstrate the applicability of the adjoint method in efficiently computing coupled sensitivities in problems involving absorbing fluid flows and radiation.
