International audience In this paper, we consider a shape optimization problem related to the Stokes equations. The proposed approach is based on a topological sensitivity analysis. It consists in an asymptotic expansion of a cost function with respect to the insertion of a small obstacle in the domain. The theoretical part of this work is discussed in both two and three dimensional cases. In the numerical part, we use this approach to optimize the shape of the tubes that connect the inlet to the outlets of the cavity maximizing the outflow rate. Dans ce papier, on considère un problème d'optimisation de forme lié aux équations de Stokes. On propose une approche basée sur une analyse de sensibilité topologique. On donne un développement asymptotique d'une fonction coût par rapport à la perturbation du domaine par l'insertion d'un petit obstacle. Des résultats théoriques sont donnés en 2 D et 3 D. Dans la partie numérique, on utilise cette approche pour optimiser la forme des tubes liant l'entrée aux sorties d'une cavité

International audience This paper is concerned with a topological asymptotic expansion for a parabolic operator. We consider the three dimensional non-stationary Stokes system as a model problem and we derive a sensitivity analysis with respect to the creation of a small Dirich-let geometric perturbation. The established asymptotic expansion valid for a large class of shape functions. The proposed analysis is based on a preliminary estimate describing the velocity field perturbation caused by the presence of a small obstacle in the fluid flow domain. The obtained theoretical results are used to built a fast and accurate detection algorithm. Some numerical examples issued from a lake oxygenation problem show the efficiency of the proposed approach. Ce papier porte sur l'analyse de sensibilité topologique pour un opérateur parabolique. On considère le problème de Stokes instationnaire comme un exemple de modèle et on donne une étude de sensibilité décrivant le comportement asymptotique de l'opérateur relativement à une petite perturbation géométrique du domaine. L'analyse présentée est basée sur une estimation du champ de vitesse calculée dans le domaine perturbé. Les résultats de cette étude ont servi de base pour développer un algorithme d'identification géométrique. Pour la validation de notre approche, on donne une étude numérique pour un problème d'optimisation d'emplacement des injecteurs dans un lac eutrophe. Des exemples numériques montrent l'efficacité de la méthode proposée

This article describes the development of a method for optimization of the geometry of three-dimensional turbine blades within a stage configuration. The method is based on flow simulations and gradient-based optimization techniques. This approach uses the fully parameterized blade geometry as variables for the optimization problem. Physical parameters such as stagger angle, stacking line, and chord length are part of the model. Constraints guarantee the requirements for cooling, casting, and machining of the blades.The fluid physics of the turbomachine and hence the objective function of the optimization problem are calculated by means of a three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver especially designed for turbomachinery applications. The gradients required for the optimization algorithm are computed by numerically solving the sensitivity equations. Therefore, the explicitly differentiated Navier-Stokes equations are incorporated into the numerical method of the flow solver, enabling the computation of the sensitivity equations with the same numerical scheme as used for the flow field solution.This article introduces the components of the fully automated optimization loop and their interactions. Furthermore, the sensitivity equation method is discussed and several aspects of the implementation into a flow solver are presented. Flow simulations and sensitivity calculations are presented for different test cases and parameters. The validation of the computed sensitivities is performed by means of finite differences.

Abstract The range of application of structural optimization methods can be considerably enlarged by using decomposition techniques. In this paper a novel procedure is introduced to deal with such problems more efficiently. The mechanical structure resp. system is divided into several subsystems splitting up the design variables, objective functions, and constraints accordingly. The boundary state quantities of the subsystems and the global (i.e. subsystem overlapping) functions are approximated by a sensitivity analysis of the entire system using suitable approximation concepts. It is thus possible to optimize the subsystems independently. Variables, objective functions and constraints can be chosen arbitrarily; all coupling information is obtained from the sensitivity analysis by means of global information. The application of this technique is demonstrated by a two-dimensional shape optimization problem.

AbstractThe Navier-Stokes equations for viscous, incompressible fluids are studied in the three-dimensional periodic domains, with the body force having an asymptotic expansion, when time goes to infinity, in terms of power-decaying functions in a Sobolev-Gevrey space. Any Leray-Hopf weak solution is proved to have an asymptotic expansion of the same type in the same space, which is uniquely determined by the force, and independent of the individual solutions. In case the expansion is convergent, we show that the next asymptotic approximation for the solution must be an exponential decay. Furthermore, the convergence of the expansion and the range of its coefficients, as the force varies are investigated.

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation for shape optimization of the Stokes flow around a solid body. The shape gradient for the shape optimization problem in a viscous incompressible flow is evaluated by the velocity method. The flow is governed by the steady-state Stokes equations coupled with a thermal model. The structure of continuous shape gradient of the cost functional is derived by employing the differentiability of a minimax formulation involving a Lagrange functional with the function space parametrization technique. A gradient-type algorithm is applied to the shape optimization problem. Numerical examples show that our theory is useful for practical purpose, and the proposed algorithm is feasible and effective.
