This paper proposes a method that integrates projection-based approaches with fluid topology optimization to design additively manufactured fluidic components without internal support structures. The method leverages past work in overhang constraints for solid mechanics and considers incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for laminar fluid flow.
This paper integrates projection-based approaches for implementing overhang constraints with fluid topology optimization to design additively manufactured fluidic components that do not require internal support structures. Internal support structures are challenging, potentially impossible to remove in complex fluid networks, yet would degrade fluidic performance if left within the part. This presents a major challenge in coupling topology optimization with additive manufacturing in the design of fluid components. The proposed approach leverages past work in overhang constraints for solid mechanics, including projection formulations and adjoint sensitivity analysis, and considers incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for laminar fluid flow. The approach is demonstrated on 2D and 3D fluid topology optimization problems to minimize pressure drop and constrain mass flow rates in pipes and manifolds. Resulting designs are crisp, logical, satisfy performance constraints, and satisfy overhang constraints, eliminating the need for internal support structures. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
