abstract = "Derivatives are a crucial ingredient to a broad variety of computational techniques
in science and engineering. While numerical approaches for evaluating derivatives suffer from
truncation error, automatic differentiation is accurate up to machine precision. The term automatic
differentiation comprises a set of techniques for mechanically transforming a given computer program
to another one capable of evaluating derivatives. A common misconception about automatic
differentiation is that this technique only works on local pieces of fairly simple code. Here, it is
shown that automatic differentiation is not only applicable to small academic codes, but scales to
advanced industrial software packages. In particular, the general-purpose computational fluid
dynamics software package {FLUENT} is transformed by automatic differentiation.",
