Abstract:
We study shape optimization problems in the Stokes flows.  An efficient decoupled scheme is proposed to implement by the gradient flow approach to decrease the objective function.We rigorously prove that the proposed scheme permits an unconditionally monotonic-decreasing property. To enhance the overall efficiency of the algorithm, in each loop we update the phase field variable and Lagrangian parameter several time steps but update the velocity field only one time.
