Abstract : We present a DOLFIN/FEniCS framework for shape optimization of compact heat transfer devices consisting of periodic units. The framework relies on highly parallelized, efficient finite-element solvers for the three-dimensional periodically developed flow and heat transfer equations and their eigenvalue problems. The adjoint-based shape calculus is implemented by means of automated differentiation and operator overloading. Design constraints are incorporated through an augmented Lagrangian method. The optimized surfaces are compared with designs obtained through density-based topology optimization.
