... is based on topological optimization, the thermal performance of the DSM only marginally surpasses that of the SGM in terms of calculated total thermal resistance values, and only for cases involving a high solid thermal conductivity. For low solid thermal conductivity cases, the SGM outperforms the DSM...

...-film thickness was represented by 100 design variables, and the electrical potential at each electrode were also design variables. The topology optimization problem (inverse problem) has been solved with two methods, i.e., with a genetic algorithm (GA) and with a conjugate gradient method using adjoint...
