Automatic Differentiation - for CFD
Automatic Differentiation (AD) deals with differentiating a single / multi variable function w.r.t a set of independent parameters. Simply, its a package which differentiates a function, and function is given by a piece of code.
This is particularly helpful in CFD in the case of implicit algorithms, where the Flux Jacobian is required. Of course, there are other ways of computing the Jacobian, like...
