A new finite element (FE) based topology optimization (TO) for turbulent flow was developed using the k−ε turbulent model, which is one of the Reynolds–Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. Despite many innovative works on the subject of fluidic TO, it remains important to consider the impact of...
