This repository contains source code of a shallow water partial differential equation (PDE) solver. The solver is written in differentiable Swift which allows end-to-end propagation of derivatives through time. In physics this kind of solution is traditionally called adjoint and it unlocks a new class of algorithms for optimal control of PDEs.
More details about the PDE and how to derive it from general Navier-Stokes equations can found for example on Wikipedia.
The following notebook demonstrates how the differentiability of the solver can be leveraged to solve an otherwise tricky optimal control problem.
