Abstract

This paper discusses the topology optimization of unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes flows. An optimization problem is formulated by adding the artificial Darcy frictional force into the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The optimization procedure is implemented using the continuous adjoint method and the finite element method. The effects of dynamic inflow, Reynolds number and target flux on specified boundaries for the optimal topology of unsteady Navier-Stokes flows are presented. Numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility and necessity of this topology optimization method for unsteady Navier-Stokes flows.
