Shape-topology optimization of stokes flow via variational level set method
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the conventional level set method is extended as an efficient approach for shape optimization. The motion of the dynamic interface is governed by Stokes equations. Although this method is not specifically designed for topology optimization, it can handle topology changes easily. Furthermore, a relatively smooth evolution can be maintained without re-initialization. The cost of this method is moderate. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm are illustrated by several numerical examples. 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

متن کاملA BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on the level set method (LSM) to solve shape and topology optimization problems. Since the conventional LSM has several limitations, a binary level set method (BLSM) is used instead. In the BLSM, the level set function can only take 1 and -1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phase-field methods. We don’t need to solve the Hamilton-Jac...

This paper presents the topology optimization of plane structures using a binary level set (BLS) approach and isogeometric analysis (IGA). In the standard level set method, the domain boundary is descripted as an isocountour of a scalar function of a higher dimensionality. The evolution of this boundary is governed by Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In the BLS method, the interfaces of subdomai...
