DAFoam develops an efficient discrete adjoint method to perform high-fidelity multidisciplinary design optimization. DAFoam has the following features:
- It uses a popular open-source package OpenFOAM for multiphysics analysis.
- It implements a Jacobian-free discrete adjoint approach with competitive speed, scalability, and accuracy.
- It has a convenient Python interface to couple with OpenMDAO for multidisciplinary design optimization.
