Optimal shape design with domain decomposition
In this work, we considered an “inverse-design” problem, where we specified the flow distribution in the computational domain or on its subset and sought the geometrical configuration that produced this flow. Based on this idea, we formulated a control problem, in which the optimization procedure …

Riblets in the viscous sublayer : Optimal Shape Design of Microstructures
… the drag. The aim of this project is to find the optimal shape of such microstructures on surfaces of submerged bodies. We assume that these microstructures remain in the viscous sublayer where the flow equations are the 3D incompressible, steady state Navier-Stokes equations with a Couette in- …

Variable-topology shape optimization of linear elastic structures
… of an elastic structure is allowed to vary in shape optimization problems. We study the optimal shape design of a two-dimensional elastic continuum for minimum compliance subject to a constraint on the total volume of material without any restrictions on the design topology.

Restriction methods for shape and topology optimization
"This dissertation deals with problems of shape and topology optimization in which the goal is to find the most efficient shape of a physical system. The behavior of this system is captured by the solution to a boundary value problem that in turn depends on the given shape. As such, optimal shape …

Stabilized finite element solution of optimal control problems in computational fluid dynamics
This thesis discusses the solution of optimal flow control problems, with an emphasis on solving optimal design problems involving blood as the fluid. The discretization of the governing equations of fluid flow is accomplished using stabilized finite element formulations. Although frequently and …
