EuroCC@Greece announced the 6th Course of the HPC Training Series with the subject “Gradient-based and gradient-free optimization, with applications to CFD and beyond”, which took place online on October 4th, 2024.

Presentation language: Greek

Audience: Suitable for students, researchers, and engineers interested in understanding and using optimization algorithms in CFD and other disciplines.

Location: Online via Zoom

The course welcomed 51 registered participants by offering them an introduction to the adjoint-assisted, gradient-based optimization workflow of the open-source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM, with some demo applications and continued with an introduction to gradient-free optimization methods, such as evolutionary algorithms, with emphasis on metamodels and artificial intelligence for reducing the optimization turnaround time.
