In this paper, an adjoint-based optimization method is employed to estimate the unknown coefficients and states arising in an one-dimensional (1-D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow, whose dynamics can be modeled by a coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) under some suitable assumptions. In this model, the coefficients of the Reynolds number and initial conditions as well as state variables are supposed to be unknown and need to be estimated. We first employ the Lagrange multiplier method to connect the dynamics of the 1-D MHD system and the cost functional defined as the least square errors between the measurements in the experiment and the numerical simulation values. Then, we use the adjoint-based method to the augmented Lagrangian cost functional to get an adjoint coupled PDEs system, and the exact gradients of the defined cost functional with respect to these unknown parameters and initial states are further derived. The existed gradient-based optimization technique such as sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is employed for minimizing the cost functional in the optimization process. Finally, we illustrate the numerical examples to verify the effectiveness of our adjoint-based estimation approach.

Algorithm 1. Gradient-based optimization procedure for solving Problem P$_0$.
Step 1: Choose the initial guess $\nu$, $\nu_m$ and $u_{0}^{in}(x)$, $B_{0}^{in}(x)$.
Step 2: Solve the 1-D MHD model (1) forward in time corresponding to initial guess values from $t=0$ to $t=T$, and solve the adjoint coupled PDE systems (7) backward in time corresponding to initial guess values from $t=T$ to $t=0$ to obtain $u(x, t)$, $B(x, t)$, $\lambda_1(x, t)$, $\lambda_2(x, t)$.
Step 3: Compute cost functional and its gradients according to (4) and (5)-(6).
Step 4: Use the gradients information obtained in $\mathbf{Step 3}$ to perform an optimality test. If $\nu$, $\nu_m$ and $u_{0}^{in}(x), B_0^{in}(x)$ are optimal, then exit; Otherwise, go to $\mathbf{Step 5}$.
Step 5: Use the gradient information obtained in $\mathbf{Step 3}$ to calculate a searching direction.
Step 6: Perform a line search to determine the optimal step length.
Step 7: Compute the new points $\nu$, $\nu_m$ and $u_{0}^{in}(x)$, $B_{0}^{in}(x)$ and return to $\mathbf{Step 2}$.
