AbstractWe consider PDE constrained shape optimization in the framework of finite element discretization of the underlying boundary value problem. We present an algorithm tailored to preserve and exploit the approximation properties of the finite element method, and that allows for arbitrarily high resolution of shapes. It employs (i) B-spline based representations of the deformation diffeomorphism, and (ii) superconvergent domain integral expressions for the shape gradient. We provide numerical evidence of the performance of this method both on prototypical well-posed and ill-posed shape optimization problems.

We consider the finite element discretization of the Navier–Stokes equations locally coupled with the equation for the turbulent kinetic energy through an eddy viscosity. We prove a posteriori error estimates which allow to automatically determine the zone where the turbulent kinetic energy must be inserted in the Navier–Stokes equations and also to perform mesh adaptivity in order to optimize the discretization of these equations. Numerical results confirm the interest of such an approach.

<p>The aim of this paper is twofold first we will  provide a numerical solution of the Navier Stokes equation using the Projection technique and finite element method. The problem will be introduced in weak formulation and a Finite Element method will be developed, then solve in a fast way the sparse system derived. Second, the projection method with Control volume approach will be applied to get a fast solution, in iterations count.</p>
