fluid–thermal topology optimization

[well-zt]

Has anyone tried to use TopOpt to solve fluid–thermal topology optimization problems? I am trying to write a program for the topology optimization of liquid-cooling heat sink with julia.

Hi @well-zt! No one has tried doing fluid-thermal topology optimisation using TopOpt.jl but nothing is impossible ;) If you write some script for it in Julia, we can integrate it into TopOpt.jl and/or reuse some of the existing features in TopOpt to make the optimisation easier or more generic.

For example, all the optimisation algorithms, the filters, penalty functions, projections, assembly and boundary condition application functions for unstructured meshes can be reused.
