Topology optimization of actively moving rigid bodies in unsteady flows

Yuta Tanabe, Kentaro Yaji, Kuniharu Ushijima

This study proposes a novel topology optimization method for unsteady fluid flows induced by actively moving rigid bodies. The key idea of the proposed method is to decouple the de…
