  3. Abstract:
  4. A fully coupled formulation of thermo-fluid shape design problems has recently been developed in which the unknown nodal coordinates appear explicitly in the formulation of the problem. This "direct design" approach is, in principle, generally applicable and has been successfully applied in the context of potential and Euler flow models. This paper focuses on the direct design of ducts using the ideal flow model and may be considered as an addendum to the paper entitled "Direct Design of Ducts" [1]. However, a cell-vertex finite volume method is used and a different boundary condition implementation technique is applied, as compared to the method presented in the previous paper. The other new feature is that a non-linear algebraic method is used for grid generation. The method is also proved to be capable of designing complex flow passages, such as branched ducts. © Sharif University of Technology, April 2009
