HPC Training Series - Course 20 "Gradient-based and gradient-free optimization, with applications to CFD and beyond"

Wednesday 4 Mar 2026, 10:00 → 16:00 Europe/Athens

EuroCC@Greece and the National Technical University of Athens announce the 20th Course of HPC Training Series with the subject “Gradient-based and gradient-free optimization, with applications to CFD and beyond”, taking place online on March 4th, 2026.   Presentation language: Greek   Audience: Suitable for students, researchers, and engineers interested in understanding and using optimization algorithms in CFD and other disciplines.   Course Description: This course includes an introduction to the adjoint-assisted, gradient-based optimization workflow of the open-source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM, with some demo applications and continues 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.
