Abstract
We consider topology optimization of mass distribution problems in
2D and 3D Stokes flow with the aim of designing devices that meet
target outflow rates.
For the purpose of validation, the designs have been post processed
using the image processing tools available in FEMLAB. In turn, this
has enabled an evaluation of the design with a body fitted mesh in a
standard analysis software relevant in engineering practice prior to
design manufacturing.
This work investigates the proper choice of a maximum penalization
value during the optimization process that ensures that the target
outflow rates are met in the validation test.
