The field of topology optimization is well developed for load carrying trusses, but so far not for other similar network problems. The present paper is a first study in the direction of topology optimization of flow networks. A linear network flow model based on Hagen-Poiseuilleรs equation is used.
## Abstract Various designs of the so called LowโPressure Drop (LPD) static mixer are analyzed for their mixing performance using the mapping method. The two types of LPD designs, the RR and RL type, show essentially different mixing patterns. The RL design provides globally chaotic mixing, whereas
Perhaps, this paper reports the ยฎrst successful applications of the topology optimization in the design of (thinwalled) beam sections. In particular, topologically dierent thin-walled beam cross sections can be obtained by the present approach, which is very useful in identifying the direction and l
## 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
