Topological optimization for fluids
This chapter describes topological optimization for some academic applications. It begins with the derivation of a Dirichlet boundary condition on a shrinking hole. It shows how the problem can be solved by penalty and discusses the related convergence issues. The application to fluids is discussed for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations and the method is applied to the design of multi-branch channels.
Keywords: topological optimization, convergence issues, multi-branch channels, penalty
