Topology Optimization Theory for Laminar Flow: Applications in Inverse Design of Microfluidics

This book presents the topology optimization theory for laminar flows with low and moderate Reynolds numbers, based on the density method and level-set method, respectively. The density-method-based theory offers efficient convergence, while the level-set-method-based theory can provide anaccurate mathematical expression of the structural boundary.

Unsteady, body-force-driven and two-phase properties are basic characteristics of the laminar flows. The book discusses these properties, which...
