In this paper, we deal with topology optimization attributed to the non stationary Navier-Stokes equations. We propose an approach where we analyze the sensitivity of a shape function relating to a perturbation of the flow domain. A numerical optimization algorithm based on topological gradient method is built and applied to the 2D Tesla micro valve reconstruction. Some numerical results confirm the efficiency of the proposed approach.
We consider the geometric inverse problem of determining an immersed obstacle in a two-dimensional non-stationary Stokes fluid flow. We use the topological gradient method to solve this problem. The unknown obstacle is located and reconstructed using the leading term of the Khon-Vogelius shape function variation. We propose a simple and fast detection algorithm. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach are illustrated by some numerical examples.
