Hello, I'm trying perform 3D shape optimization of an underwater flow around a turbine.

The Direct problem is run using INC_RANS solver in a rotational frame and converges to an order of 1e-10.

I created an FFD box around one of the blades and use SU2_CFD_AD to perform the DISCRETE_ADJOINT calculation from the converged solution. The code however fails to start and gives the error, "Killed". I have attached the cfg file as well.

I'm not sure what this error means. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You are probably running out of ram. The discrete adjoint can use up to 10 times more than the primal.
If you are using multigrid turn it off for the adjoint.

Thanks! That was my issue.

For my experiences, I got this error because memory is not sufficient for discrete adjoint solver.
