contents Even when the partial differential equation underlying a physical process can be evolved forward in time, the retrospective (backward in time) inverse problem often has its own challenges and applications. Direct Adjoint Looping (DAL) is the defacto approach for solving retrospective inverse problems, but it has not been applied to deterministic retrospective Navier--Stokes inverse problems in 2D or 3D. In this paper, we demonstrate that DAL is ill-suited for solving retrospective 2D Navier--Stokes inverse problems. Alongside DAL, we study two other iterative methods: Simple Backward Integration (SBI) and the Quasi-Reversible Method (QRM). Our iterative SBI approach is novel while iterative QRM has previously been used. Using these three iterative methods, we solve two retrospective inverse problems: 1D Korteweg--de Vries--Burgers (decaying nonlinear wave) and 2D Navier--Stokes (unstratified Kelvin--Helmholtz vortex). In both cases, SBI and QRM reproduce the target final states more accurately and in fewer iterations than DAL. We attribute this performance gap to additional terms present in SBI and QRM's respective backward integrations which are absent in DAL.
