         sensitivity analysis and parameter optimization of computer models. Among the various methods for
         obtaining derivatives, automatic differentiation~(AD) combines freedom from approximation errors,
         high performance, and the ability to handle arbitrarily complex codes arising from large-scale
         scientific investigations. In this note, we show how AD technology can aid in the sensitivity
         analysis of a computer model by considering a classic fluid flow experiment as an example. To this
         end, the software tool ADIFOR implementing the AD technology for functions written in Fortran~77 was
         applied to the large finite element package SEPRAN.\@ Differentiated versions of SEPRAN enable
         sensitivity analysis for a wide range of applications, not only from computational fluid dynamics.",
