Stability of critical shapes for the drag minimization problem in Stokes flow
We study the stability of some critical (or equilibrium) shapes in the minimization problem of the energy dissipated by a fluid (i.e. the drag minimization problem) governed by the Stokes equations. We first compute the shape derivative up to the second order, then provide a sufficient condition for the shape Hessian of the energy functional to be coercive at a critical shape. Under this condit...
متن کاملWing drag minimization
A shape optimization problem concerned with minimum drag of a thin wing is considered. In this paper, measure theory approach in function space is derived, resulting in an effective algorithm for the discretized optimization problem. First the problem is expressed as an optimal problem governed by variational forms on a fixed domain. Then by using an embedding method, the class of admissible sh...
متن کاملA Stokes Flow Model for the Drag on a Blood Cell*
The geometrical inverse of a prolate ellipsoid of revolution with respect to its center is a biconcave lens for certain values of the parameters. This is used as a model for the normal shape of a red blood cell. The Stokes flow past this body is found explicitly and an expression given for the drag.
متن کاملMicroshape Control, Riblets, and Drag Minimization
Relying on the rugosity effect, we analyse the drag minimization problem in relation with the micro-structure of the surface of a given obstacle. We construct a mathematical framework for the optimization problem, prove the existence of an optimal solution by Γ-convergence arguments and analyse the stability of the drag with respect to the micro-structure. For Stokes flows we justify why rugosi...
متن کاملWing drag minimization by using measure theory
In this article, the problem of determining the shape of a thin wing for minimum drag has been examined. In order to determine the optimal shape, we have extended a measure theory-based method. Using an embedding procedure, the problem of finding the optimal shape is reduced to one consisting of minimizing a linear form over a set of positive measures. The resulting problem can be approximated ...
