Abstract
In this paper we discuss the problem of constructing accurate numerical schemes for calculating state sensitivities for application to design. We concentrate on a model problem and use this model to develop the fundamental ideas and to illustrate the mathematical difficulties. Numerical results are given for the model problem and a 2-D fluid flow example. The goal of this paper is to introduce the basic idea and to illustrate its application to a practical flow problem.
