Topology optimization (TO) is a promising numerical technique for designing optimal
engineering designs in many industrial applications. It is expected that it might become an …

This review paper provides an overview of the literature for topology optimisation of fluid-
based problems, starting with the seminal works on the subject and ending with a snapshot …

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 …

A topology optimization strategy with coupled fluid–solid interaction was proposed to
maximize the cooling efficiency of a kind of structure applied for scramjets. The Galerkin …

This paper presents a hybrid optimization method aiming to design the flow channel shape
and reduce its flow resistance or pressure drop. The method combines flow pattern …

We consider the problem of water–air two-phase flow, which occurs during water aeration by
air injection. We present and analyze a new model incorporating a nonlocal boundary …

We are interested in the optimization of the pipe shape allowing minimization of the
dissipated energy in time-dependent Navier–Stokes Darcy flow. The used technique is …

A simple and novel adsorbent has been developed for the determination of glimepiride
(Glim) drug in aqueous media. This adsorbent is prepared by impregnation of guava seed …

Finding out a right direction is, however, not easy, no matter for optimization problems that I
am interested in, for my PhD research or to give meaning to my life. I am not the luckiest one …
