4D Topology optimization of moving rigid bodies in fluid flows
Yuta Tanabe, Kentaro Yaji, Kuniharu Ushijima
This study applies , a framework for simultaneously optimizing the morphology and motion of a system, to a rigid body that induces fluid flow. Th…
Topology optimization of passively moving rigid bodies in unsteady flows
Yuta Tanabe, Kentaro Yaji, Kuniharu Ushijima
This study proposes the topology optimization method for moving rigid bodies subjected to forces from fluid flow, such as sails and turbines, with an unsteady time-dependent formul…
Multi-scale topology optimization of porous heat sinks with voided lattice structure using a two-layer Darcy-Forchheimer model
Tatsuki Saito, Yuto Kikuchi, Kuniharu Ushijima +1
This study presents a topology optimization framework for the design of water cooled heat sinks that incorporate voided lattice structures, formulated using a two-layer Darcy-Forch…
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…
Adjoint lattice kinetic scheme for topology optimization in fluid problems
Yuta Tanabe, Kentaro Yaji, Kuniharu Ushijima
This paper proposes a topology optimization method for non-thermal and thermal fluid problems using the Lattice Kinetic Scheme (LKS).LKS, which is derived from the Lattice Boltzman…
