Topology optimization of impeller blades in baffled stirred tanks

An approach for the numerical topology optimization of baffled stirred tanks is presented and demonstrated exemplarily on impeller blades. The methodology is based on the well-known Brinkman penalization method, which is used to alter the impeller blade geometry without having to adapt the computati...
