Performance assessment of density and level-set topology optimisation methods for three dimensional heat sink design

In this paper, two most prevalent topological optimisation approaches namely Density and Level set method are applied to a three dimensional heat sink design problem. The relative performance of the two approaches is compared in terms of design quality, robustness and computational speed. The work i...
