Abstract

This work is concerned with the development of a framework to solve shape optimization problems for transient heat conduction problems within the context of isogeometric analysis (IGA). A general objective functional is used to accommodate both shape optimization and passive control problems under transient conditions. An adjoint sensitivity analysis, which accounts for possible discontinuities in the objective functional, is performed analytically and subsequently discretized within the context of IGA. The gradient of the objective functional is used in a descent algorithm to solve optimization problems. Numerical examples are presented to validate and demonstrate the capacity to manage thermal fields under transient conditions.
