Abstract

We consider the shape-topology optimization of the Navier-Stokes problem. A new algorithm is proposed based on the variational level set method. By this algorithm, a relatively smooth evolution can be maintained without re-initialization and drastic topology change can be handled easily. Finally, the promising features of the proposed method are illustrated by two benchmark examples.
