Numerical analysis of a topology optimization problem for Stokes flow

扫码查看
Borrvall and Petersson (2003) developed the first model for the topology optimization of fluids in Stokes flow. They proved the existence of minimizers in the infinite-dimensional setting and showed that a suitably chosen finite element method will converge in a weak(-*) sense to an unspecified solution. In this work, we prove novel regularity results and extend their numerical analysis. In particular, given an isolated local minimizer to the infinite-dimensional problem, we show that there exists a sequence of finite element solutions, satisfying necessary first-order optimality conditions, that strongly converges to it. We also provide the first numerical investigation into convergence rates. (c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
