Abstract

This paper is concerned with a shape sensitivity analysis of a viscous incompressible fluid driven by Stokes equations. The structures of continuous shape gradients with respect to the shape of the variable domain for some given cost functionals are established by introducing the Piola transformation and then deriving the state derivative and its associated adjoint state. Finally we give the finite element approximation of the problem and a gradient type algorithm is effectively used for our problem.
