Abstract:
      We applied a structural shape optimization algorithm based on a recently proposed explicit geometry updating method to achieve automatic shape design for underground pipes.The fluid in the pipe is assumed to be Newton non-compressible fluid considering the inertial term, which is governed by the Navier-Stokes equation of turbulence.The design domain is the transition section between the vertical well and the horizontal well.The design variables of the shape optimization are the coordinates of the finite element nodes on the boundary.The optimization objective is to minimize the viscous energy dissipation.The optimization algorithm is gradient-based, which means that a shape sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the derivatives of the objective function with respect to design variables.The explicit geometry updating method is able to represent the geometry clearly with mesh, and also update the mesh in a large scale.Through numerical examples, we analyse the effect of the injection speed, the density and the viscosity of the fluid on the optimized solution.
