Shape optimization framework

  • Shape is parameterized in terms of x ∈ D ⊂ Rd
  • PDE-constrained minimization

min

x∈D J(x, u)

s.t. R(x, u) = 0

  • Solving R = 0 is computationally expensive
  • d can be large - Curse of dimensionality

Classical approach

  • PDE-constrained problem

min

x J(u, x)

s.t. R(u, x) = 0

  • r

L(x, u, v) = J(x, u) + (v, R(u, x))

  • Need to develop complex adjoint solvers
  • PDE models not well motivated, e.g., turbulence models

min

x Jh(uh, x)

s.t. Rh(uh, x) = 0

  • Discrete approach: Automatic Differentiation
  • Noisy objective functions
  • Only local optimum
