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 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
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-PoiseuilleÕs equation is used.
## 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
