Shape derivatives for general objective functions and the incompressible Navier – Stokes equations

چکیده
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the shape derivative for a wide array of objective functions using the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations as a state constraint. Most real world applications of computational fluid dynamics are shape optimization problems in nature, yet special shape optimization techniques are seldom used outside the field of elliptic partial differential equations and linear elasticity. This article tries to be self contained, also presenting many useful results from the literature. We conclude with a comparison of different objective functions for the shape optimization of an obstacle in a channel, which can be done quite conveniently when one knows the general form of the shape gradient.

Incompressible laminar flow computations by an upwind least-squares meshless method
In this paper, the laminar incompressible flow equations are solved by an upwind least-squares meshless method. Due to the difficulties in generating quality meshes, particularly in complex geometries, a meshless method is increasingly used as a new numerical tool. The meshless methods only use clouds of nodes to influence the domain of every node. Thus, they do not require the nodes to be conn...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Boundary Value Problems for Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations: Well-Posedness and Sensitivity Analysis
In the paper compressible, stationary Navier-Stokes equations are considered. A framework for analysis of such equations is established. In particular, the well-posedness for inhomogeneous boundary value problems of elliptic-hyperbolic type is shown. Analysis is performed for small perturbations of the so-called approximate solutions, i.e., the solutions take form (1.12). The approximate soluti...
متن کاملMeshfree point collocation method for the stream-vorticity formulation of 2D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations
Meshfree point collocation method is developed for the stream-vorticity formulation of two-dimensional incompressible Navier– Stokes equations. Particular emphasis is placed on the novel formulation of effective vorticity condition on no-slip boundaries. The moving least square approximation is employed to construct shape functions in conjunction with the framework of point collocation method. ...
متن کاملTurbulent Flow over Cars
In this paper the flow behaviour over a number of car bodies is studied. For this purpose the unsteady 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations have been applied. After averaging and nondimensionalizing the equations, the system of equations has been transformed from the Cartesian (x-y) coordinates to a body fitted generalized (-) coordinate. As the flow is incompressible, the density in the ...
متن کاملPenalized Approach and Analysis of an Optimal Shape Control Problem for the Stationary Navier–stokes Equations
This paper is concerned with an optimal shape control problem for the stationary Navier–Stokes system. A two–dimensional channel flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid is examined to determine the shape of a bump on a part of the boundary that minimizes the viscous drag. By introducing an artificial compressibility term to relax the incompressibility constraints, we take the penalty method. T...
