A Method for Geometry Optimization in a Simple Model of Two-Dimensional Heat Transfer
Abstract
This investigation is motivated by the problem of optimal design of cooling elements in modern battery systems. We consider a simple model of two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction described by elliptic partial differential equations and involving a one-dimensional cooling element represented by a contour on which interface boundary conditions are specified. The problem consists of finding an optimal shape of the cooling element which …
