Dear Spenser and Kumar ： I still haven't got the correct sensitivity map. Now I'm a little confused and don't know whether my understanding is correct. According to Giannetti and Luchini JFM 2007, sensitivity is the dyadic product of direct and adjoint modes. So, I think I should calculate this outer product and get a tensor. But it doesn't seem easy to get. Using the concatenate module of Fieldconvert, I put the two eig.fld files obtained from stability analysis into a single conc.fld file and convert it into the .vtu format. It contains four variables u1, v1, u2 and v2. And then I imported it into ParaView to compute the dyadic product. I tried the Calculator filter first, constructed vector a=u1*iHat+v1*jHat and vector b =u2*iHat+v2*jHat, and intend to do the dyadic product with these two vectors. But I can't find the function of dyadic product in the Calculator filter. Similarly, Python Calculator can also get vectors a and b, but the numpy.outer() cannot be calculated. I also tried Programmable Filter and didn't succeed either. This does not seem to work on the .vtu format. I am not very proficient in Paraview and Python. Could I ask you about the specific process of getting the sensitivity plots?

HI Both, Yep I agree this is a good way to do it. Cheers, Spencer.

I have reproduced Giannetti and Luchini's result for Re = 50 (attached in this email) using Nektar++. To do this multiplication, I first rename the variables of direct and adjoints modes obtained from the stability analysis. Then put them into a single file using FieldConvert. Now, rest calculations can be done inside ParaView or Visit.

I am afraid I do not recall which inner products gives you which sensitivities. Cheers, Spencer.

Dear all: I want to use the Nektar++ to conduct structural sensitivity analysis on the flow problem. I can get direct and adjoint modes, but I don't know how to get the sensitivity of base flow modification and local feedback (as shown in figure). Can anyone help me? Looking forward to your reply!
