## Abstract We consider topology optimization of fluids in Stokes flow. The design objective is to minimize a power function, which for the absence of body fluid forces is the dissipated power in the fluid, subject to a fluid volume constraint. A generalized Stokes problem is derived that is used a

A new methodology is proposed for the topology optimization of fluid in Stokes flow. The binary design variable and no-slip condition along the solid-fluid interface are regularized to allow for the use of continuous mathematical programming techniques. The regularization is achieved by treating the
## Abstract We present a versatile high‐level programming‐language implementation of non‐linear topology optimization. Our implementation is based on the commercial software package FEMLAB, and it allows a wide range of optimization objectives to be dealt with easily. We exemplify our method by stu
## SUMMARY In this paper, we use binary level set method and Merriman–Bence–Osher scheme for solving structural shape and topology optimization problems. In the binary level set method, the level set function can only take 1 and –1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phasefield methods. T
